If you don't know who David Seaman is, he's the self-appointed head spokesman of the Pizzagate movement. If you are a pizzagater, this association should make you very nervous, because David Seaman is a mentally unstable con man. Let's start with some background.
In 2007, Seaman began an internship with Jezebel. After only a few short months, he was so hated and reviled that Jezebel ran a hit piece on him, describing him as a "self-promotional whore" and then fired him. In the article, they publish a profile that Seaman had written about himself, which reveals the scary depths of his self-involved nature.

http://jezebel.com/274434/in-which-we-get-closure-with-self-promotional-whore-david-seaman
In 2008, Seaman wrote a book called, Dirty Little Secrets of Buzz: How to Attract Massive Attention for Your Business, Your Product, or Yourself. In this book, you can advice such as "Always be controversial and outrageous in everything you do" and "Enemies are more important than friends." You'll also learn interesting tidbits such as how he loves Bill Maher and Michael Moore, and hates Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly. This seems to be very contradictory, seeing as how he claims to be such a huge Donald Trump supporter. He also refers to himself as a "veteran promotional stunt planner," not a reporter or journalist. In the "About the Author" section, you'll find this info: Seaman is the founder of Shutterline Interactive, a vehicle for rapidly deploying new publicity stunts.
In August 2009, before the release of his book, Seaman claimed he would run naked through Times Square if his book didn't make the Top 100 list on Amazon. The book barely cracked the Top 200,000. He didn't follow through on the streaking promise. David Seaman has never met a promise that he didn't break.

Also in 2009, Seaman does an interview with Business Beat Live. In the interview he says, "I would protest gravity if I thought it was going to get me buzz".

Seaman calls Joe Rogan a liar. He claims that Rogan promised him a role as a political contributor on his podcast, but never followed through. Rogan's producer, Brian Redban, implies in a tweet that Seaman is mentally unwell.
In the same article, he talks a little bit about he holds a grudge against his family because "they didn't have my back when I needed it". Knowing his history, he probably tried to con them, just like everyone else he's ever met.

If you are familiar with Seaman's Youtube channel, then you're aware that he is constantly shilling for Bitcoin and Goldmoney. Here's some info on Goldmoney:
"Goldmoney Inc has its headquarters located in Toronto Canada and in Saint Helier Jersey.[6] The company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and has a market capitalization of $312 million as of February 27, 2016. GoldMoney Inc. investors and backers include Eric Sprott, Albert D. Friedberg, George Soros, Adam Fleming, and Canadian Banks Canaccord Genuity."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoldMoney
Yes that's right, one of the principle investors in Goldmoney is none other than George Soros! David Seaman can not claim ignorance on this subject either, because in an article on the Huffington Post he writes, "The company is funded by a number of savvy financial elites including precious metals entrepreneur Eric Sprott and the legendary Soros family."
For a guy who claims to hate pedophilia crimes and Hillary Clinton and John Podesta so much, why is he so proud to be associated with George Soros?
Also of note, Goldmoney paid for Seaman to attend this year's Super Bowl.
DavidSeaman recently won the #Supergold contest and got to go to the Super Bowl!

Seaman's constant praise of Bitcoin is also curious, considering in July of last year he had this to say about Bitcoin in another Huffington Post article:
"The trolls and narrowminded Bitcoin bagholders pushing Ethereum “Classic” on an unsuspecting public are not the ultimate reason I’m selling off much of my Bitcoin tonight - that’s just another indication to me that Bitcoin is in a weak position. Ultimately, however, my decision is grounded in economic self-interest. I see optimism and amazing ideas being built out in Ethereum, and I don’t see anything close to this level in Bitcoin at the moment. Shortly after I file this story, I’ll be selling off 80% of my personal Bitcoin holdings; or more accurately, converting them into Ether, on Coinbase."
So he's bullish on Bitcoin, yet sold off 80% of his holdings? This guy just can't stop contradicting himself.

*In August of 2016, Seaman claims to have been fired from the Huffington Post for writing an article about Hillary's health. This is false, as he couldn't be fired, because he was never on the HuffPo payroll. He was a contributor and unpaid blogger and had his publishing rights revoked, he was not fired. There is not a single person who has corroborated his claim that he was "fired" because of his Hillary article. Judging by his employment history, it's just as likely he was "fired" for being a self-promoting asshole.

Sadly, yes he is an attention whore and manipulator for personal gain. I actually gave $50 to his paypal back in December. He was the first guy I heard talking about Pizzagate so I owe him that, but ever since he has been putting up videos everyday with clickbait titles and talking of himself as a victim. Once a week he will say something outlandish that can't be verified or proved (police outside my house right now! My friend was -possibly- murdered etc).
In his defence, he is a constant presence on twitter talking loud and clear about pizzagate, he has a strong and growing presence and that is useful. His self promotion is obnoxious but I think he is narcissistic rather than cointelpro or pushing black propaganda.
I think he truly wants to break pizzagate, to see these sick fucks prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In that sense he is honest and transparent. But he is not a leader of our community or our cause.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to separate what is true, honest reporting and what is the intelligence agencies doing what they do. This voat community is a very different animal to what it was November - January.
So I would ask each of you "true" voaters out there to not lose faith, hang in there. When my friends tell me trump is a fool or a madman or dangerous I always reply the same way - Trump is the saviour of Western Civilization. And I really mean it.
Stay strong brothers and sisters, good will triumph over evil.

Nice post, this is a good take.
I disagree with you on one thing though. I think Seaman wants this scandal to break because it will make him semi-famous. He'll take credit for everything, he is after all, obsessed with self promotion. Seeing justice served to evil pedophile monsters seems like a secondary goal for him.

My guess is it is a 50/50 split. I have also signed up to his newsletter, nothing of import and value in the first two posts, just him trying to get you to buy gold. I assume he is taking a commission to plug it. Right now, anyone talking about pizzagate is an ally, no matter how distasteful it is.
But yes, once it breaks, he will define himself as a "leading light" and will profit off it as much as he can. In an ideal world everyone on "our side" would be altruistic but that's not the world we live in.
At least he is pulling in the same direction as us. Once the wave breaks and it's all out in the open, who cares where the chips lie? Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and despite his long list of faults (longer than Trumps?), we need all the allies we can get. The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
