I worked on this story and chased down leads, but found the woman to be very unreliable. She wouldn't get on the phone, she lied about journalists she was working with, etc. Furthermore, I got in contact with the man who allegedly was offering the money....
He was extremely willing to confirm that he was indeed paying women to tell stories about Mueller. I concluded that this was an effort to discredit journalists working on the Trump-Russia story by planting a false story and see who would print it.
I was super hesitant to post this thread because I didn't want to give these people any attention or put this out to the public. However based on Wohl's tweet and some rumblings behind the scenes, I think it's necessary to give a heads up.

(7,715 posts)...that can track how a story propagates on the internet from its origin? My understanding from a post by Mr. Stedman is that this is a fake story potentially attributable to a GOP lobbyist, much in the way of Tricky Dick Nixon's dirty tricks campaigning.
It would be great to follow the origins of the store to trace back who planted it.

Who Is Jacob Wohl? That is the question, but the answer is not so simple. ... As Jacob Wohls August 7 administrative hearing before the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) approaches, the 19-year old hedge fund boy wonder told ValueWalk he is up 7% year to date while operating yet another new strategy. He is also enamored with US President Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. retweeting him, a point he wants the world to recognize.

Who Is Jacob Wohl? Registered letters in administrative case dont find the answer
Wohl stands accused of Fraud in Connection with the Offer or Sale of Securities, according to ACC documents, as previously reported in ValueWalk. The National Futures Association had previously banned the teen from membership for life after an investigation into his promotional activities and surrounding charges he improperly handled investor assets.
On July 17, registered letters from the ACC regarding the trial were returned to sender. Wohl would not publicly say if he planned on attending nor would he comment on the trial other than to say the ACC has an old address. Communication is functioning, he said of his dialogue with the ACC. {Update 7/27/2017: Wohl says he has retained the law firm of Tiffany and Bosco, an Arizona law firm, to represent him.}
The ACC is currently involved in a matter involving Federal investigators. In an unrelated case, the ACC is reported to be part of a wider FBI investigation, but the details in the case would not be revealed to defense attorneys unless they promised to keep them confidential.

Editors note: This story has been updated to reflect that Jacob Wohl and now-defunct Nex Capital were banned by the National Futures Association and to clarify the status of an administrative action brought by the Arizona Securities Commission.
Jacob Wohl, the 19-year-old Wohl Of Wall Street hedge fund manager, faces a pending action by the Arizona Securities Commission that accuses Wohls companies of violating the states securities laws.
The commission cites a number instances of alleged fraudulent activities by Wohl and his companies Wohl Capital Investment Group (WCIG), Nex Capital Management, LLC (NEX) and Montgomery Assets, Inc. (MAI) in the September 27, 2016, order. A hearing is scheduled for August 7, 2017, at the regulatory agencys Phoenix office.
In response to the action from the Arizona Commission, Wohl told Benzinga in an emailed statement, "All of the allegations made by the Arizona Corporation Commission are based on false statements made by the disgruntled former investor to the commission, and are not supported by any of the documentary evidence in the case. The investor was a well heeled, accredited investor, and was provided with and signed all of the necessary risk disclosures."
Contents Of The Order
Among the 14 alleged counts of fraud in connection with the offer or sale of securities included in the cease and desist order are the following:
