J6 Pipe Bomber Story Goes Boom › American Greatness
Not only did the FBI fail to identify the individual, D’Antuono admitted the FBI does not even know the “gender” of the bomber. He also backtracked on numerous public statements insisting the devices were viable, indeed, deadly. Pressed by Rep. Tom Massie (R-Ky.) to explain how the bombs were operable considering the use of a one-hour kitchen timer attached to the metal tube, D’Antuono admitted that they couldn’t have detonated during January 6. “I don’t know when they were supposed to go off. Maybe they weren’t supposed to go off.”

What a quote for the ages: the dog ate the geofencing data that just happened to be critical to identifying this mysterious pipe bomber. It’s an “unusual circumstance” and he “doesn’t want any conspiracy theories.” Right Mr. D’Antuono, right.
D’Antuono is the face of the most high profile and serious of the January 6-related investigations, and he is unable to say for certain whether his people took the basic “investigation 101” step of interviewing the individuals who discovered the bombs.

Their publicly generally available offer was an unsecured signature loan for up to (generally) $100,000. It had a 2 year draw period, during which one would pay interest only, then amortization over the remainder of the pre-chosen lifetime for a total of 7, 10, and 15 years. There was no penalty for early repayment, not that repaying early would have been a good idea. That’s already a combination of attributes you would not find many banks offering. Now here’s the kicker: it was, until the recent failure of First Republic, written in quantity at a sweetheart interest rate.
How sweetheart? Well, as of early 2021 (for an example we’ll return to), you could get a 7 year fixed rate of 2.25%. (This was net of discounts, which we’ll return to.) This was ludicrously favorable and that was an intentional strategy.
If you wanted the feeling of rigor, you could go to the crunchy part of the credit quality analysis and see that on $3 billion in outstanding unsecured loans (of which this program was a subset) they had $1 million in loans which were 30-60 days late and no defaults whatsoever.
