Qanon Shaman Files $40 Trillion
Extraordinary Lawsuit
Jacob Chansley, known as the “QAnon Shaman,” filed an unusual lawsuit in Arizona seeking $40 trillion.
Defendants include Donald Trump, the Federal Reserve, Israel, and Elon Musk’s X Corp.
Unconventional Claims
The 26-page filing reads like a manifesto.
Chansley proclaims himself leader of a new constitutional republic and makes unverified allegations,
including that the NSA deceived him online and that Trump contacted him after January 6.
The $40 Trillion Demand
Chansley allocates $38 trillion to erase government debt,
$1 trillion for national rebuilding, and $1 trillion for personal pain and suffering.
Background and Outlook
Chansley became infamous during the January 6 insurrection and served 41 months in prison.
Though once grateful for Trump’s 2025 pardon, he later called him a “fraud.”
Legal experts describe the case as “wildly specious,” leaving its future uncertain.
