So for those of you who aren't paying attention. This guy is called Nick Sherley.

He made multiple videos accusing daycares in Minnesota of engaging in massive financial fraud. He says democrats and the media of covering it up. Millions of americans genuinely believe him.

It's making me really angry.

Because he isn't a real journalist. He is a liar.

First, what Shirley allegedly “uncovered” is bullshit. This is not some new scandal.

MPR News has reported about fraud at child care centers for more than a decade

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/09/29/day-care-center-raid

In 2022, the Biden administration began charging defendants in connection to a program aimed at feeding hungry children. Merrick B. Garland, attorney general called it the country’s largest pandemic relief fraud scheme.

In 2024, a Somali-American denounced fraud in Minnesota

The same year, the press reported fraud in Minnesotta Health Center:

In january 2025, Governor Walz announced a new task force to pursue fraud cases

His claim that the press didn't talk about this is an absolue LIE.

Dude tried to walk into day care centers as a random dude who doesn’t have kids enrolled in said day care center, and when he got denied he claimed it was fraud.

This is not journalism. He didn't uncover anything. Pure horseshit.

And yet here’s another critical and substantive point that Shirley entirely ignores.

Donald Trump has personally granted clemency or pardons to at least two dozen individuals convicted of fraud totaling well over one billion dollars.

None of them are Somali. Nearly all of them are white. And this fraud has also been well reported, meaning Shirley and his supporters are either willfully ignorant, or deceptively censoring it. Among them include:

• Trevor Milton, founder of an electric truck company, was convicted of securities fraud and wire fraud and ordered to pay $676 million in restitution.

• Ross William Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, was convicted of running a massive criminal enterprise facilitating drug trafficking and money laundering and ordered to pay nearly $184 million.

• HDR Global Trading Limited, operator of a cryptocurrency exchange, was fined $100 million for violating anti-money laundering laws.

• Lawrence Duran, owner of a Miami-area mental health company, was convicted of healthcare fraud and sentenced to 50 years in prison with $87.5 million in restitution.

Trump pardoned them anyway

Just because you have a camera and scream "FRAUD" doesn't mean you are a real journalist.

him and his mother brooke shirley (brookertjones?) are part of a russian disinfo bot network or some shit. he has cp on his insta, so its on his devices somewhere. he was also caught exploiting children in slc last year using them for his and his mothers camera work, personal security and agitating protestors/marchers during several events. all reported to utah highway patrol, slcpd and kaysville pd (his and the childrens hometown). the evidence is all over his socials and utah has laws restricting child exploitation for social media but him and his family are still out there...

The people that believe him are not going to change their minds over a news article. They are fundamentally racist and see brown people are scum. They will go with any fucker who reinforces that. Nick Sherley is a symptom of a much deeper problem in America.

Hooked on righteous outrage

its 'censored' and there's no indication the subjects are minors other than post dates and knowing birthdates. him and his friends regularly publicly exposed themselves on film while they were minors to other minors as a 'prank' then 'censored' it with emojis and posted for views. if him, his family or his helpers have the source, they have cp

Sherley, you can’t be serious.
