🚨 STEW PETERS HAS A 25-YEAR PAPER TRAIL OF PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE HE ISN'T. FAKE NAME. FAKE CELEBRITY BROTHER. FAKE COP. FAKE INVESTIGATOR. FAKE FINANCIAL EXPERT. FAKE COMMENTATOR. (Receipts in replies) Arrested twice for impersonating an officer. Lived in a governor's mansion under a fake identity. Had a Minnesota law written around him. Three people dead on a fugitive case his company ran. Bankrolled by a gold company. Now he has a microphone. Summer 2000. He calls himself "Coleman Hughes." Says he's the brother of TV and movie actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Wants a part in a film Jesse Ventura's son is directing. He moves into the guest room of the Minnesota Governor's Residence. Per the residence manager, housekeepers did his laundry, chefs cooked his meals, and state troopers drove him around. Room service on the taxpayer's dime. Then Tyrel Ventura got suspicious. Troopers ran a background check. Impostor. Evicted. In 2002 the Star Tribune exposed it, and he admitted it to the paper, calling it a "wonderful experience." It wasn't his first costume. October 1999, Minnesota: arrested and charged with impersonating an officer. Dropped. 2006, Florida: arrested for falsely impersonating an officer, unlawful use of a blue light, and theft with a weapon. Dropped. Arrested twice. Walked twice. Then came the bounty hunting. Badge, gun, police dog, a car with police-style markings. Sheriffs started fielding calls about him. In 2015 Minnesota passed a law limiting what bounty hunters can wear and drive, and AP reported it was aimed mostly at him. A state law written around one man. May 30, 2017. His company got a tip that a Minnesota fugitive, who skipped court on a felony drug charge and faced charges for assaulting an officer, was at a Texas car dealership. Two Texas bounty hunters working it confronted him. He opened fire. Both bounty hunters and the fugitive died. Three dead. 2021: he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after his wife called police. Probation. The bounty agency folded. The podcast had already launched in 2020. Before all of it, he was a rapper called Fokiss. Rapper. Celebrity brother. Cop lookalike. Podcaster. Then came the gold. Starting in April 2022, Goldco signed two sponsorship agreements with his network. Court filings in his Died Suddenly lawsuit say Goldco supplied the majority of the network's annual budget, and $379,000 in documentary money was tied to the Goldco deal. He publicly credited Goldco for making Died Suddenly possible. The outrage has a sponsor. In 2023, at least 16 Sinclair TV stations ran Goldco-sponsored segments presenting the former bounty hunter as a financial expert, telling viewers to put their savings in gold through Goldco. Sinclair pulled it. One court filing even claims he texted about hiding his "Goldco sponsorship" money from his ex-wife. Goldco pays Sean Hannity too. Peters has called Hannity a phony. So which is it? An asset? A fed? A true believer? Or a paid act with a gold sponsor? One thing is not a theory: Star Tribune, June 19, 2002, Page A16. He admitted it himself. An impostor of epic proportions. He faked a name to get in the door. He dressed like a cop to get the job. Goldco paid for the microphone. Facts Over Feelings. Receipts Over Narratives.
