The #GoldCard project is being led from the #DOGE side by #MarkoElez & #EdwardCoristine [aka #BigBalls], who have been working on it since at least last month. Elez & Coristine have met w/ofcls at various agencies that oversee facets of the #visa & #immigrant vetting process to understand which existing processes can be incorporated into their new system.
[Because they’ve been doing such a great job with everything so far 🤦🏼‍♀️ /s]

#EdwardCoristine is among the most visible members of the #DOGE effort that has been given sweeping access to official networks as it attempts to radically downsize the U.S. government.

Past reporting had focused on his youth - he is 19 - and his chosen nickname of "#BigBalls," which became a pop culture punchline. #Musk has championed the teen on his social media site X, telling his followers last month that "Big Balls is awesome."

Jacob Silverman · Prominent DOGE Staffer Is Grandson Of Turncoat KGB SpyBy Jacob Silverman

apparently a crypto bro just shot himself in the head on a live stream to pump a #memecoin after losing his last $500 gambling on crypto.

he died... but at least the memecoin price pumped.

when i wrote "cryptocurrency is a hideous monstrosity made out of computers and greed" i was not being hyperbolic.

fun fact: apparently he was linked to the same cybercrime group as #DOGEbro #EdwardCoristine ("#TheCom")

The 19 year old Doge bro that has been given a senior position at the State Department is even more gross than we thought. 🤢

#EdwardCoristine, who briefly worked for #ElonMusk’s brain-chip start-up Neuralink, is posted as a senior adviser to the #State Dept’s Bureau of #Diplomatic #Technology, a critical hub for data — both sensitive & nonsensitive…. Coristine, who also holds positions at the US #DOGE Service & the #OPM, has attracted significant attention across Washington for his *edgy* [revolting] online persona &… lack of experience….

1/ i'm not sure people have really sufficiently contemplated the fact that someone who hangs out in #KiwiFarms chat rooms is helping the #DOGE team and therefore might have access to the entire American population's social security numbers, addresses, and (sometimes) confidential health information.

Kiwi Farms getting its hands on that database is literally the Doomsday Machine for online discourse.
