Cernovich screen capped one of her tweets talking about the Kleneir Holiday party in 2011. Ghislane Maxwell was in attendance. So was presumably Al Gore.
https://mobile.twitter.com/erica4ou/status/1280039077568483328 Someone googled the incident and question and verifiyed it with another one of Ellen’s tweets saying Ghislane Maxwell was at that party.
Yes, I know we should question Cernovich, but Ellen’s behaviour shortly following this tweet is EXTREMELY suspiscious. As in the sort of things an innocent person should never do. She’s locked her account so that her tweets are protected. Oh and she’s back peddling too.

Disgraced former hedge-fund operator Alphonse “Buddy” Fletcher’s broken promises are catching up with him.
A Manhattan judge has ruled that the 49-year-old investor owes his former law firm $2.7 million in unpaid legal bills.
Add that to the more than $140 million in court judgments and tax liens against the Harvard-educated fallen finance whiz and his fund, and you have one of the oddest Wall Street stories in recent memory.
While Fletcher owns three apartments in Manhattan’s exclusive Central Park West Dakota co-op, an $8.85 million self-described castle in Connecticut’s tony Litchfield County, and, with his wife Ellen Pao, a $1.5 million San Francisco home, the ex-hedgie stands accused of cheating Massachusetts and Louisiana cops and firefighters out of more than $100 million and not paying close to $3 million in taxes.
The pension plan of the public employees had invested in Fletcher’s hedge fund, Fletcher International, before that fund crashed and burned in 2012 amid a series of questions concerning the whereabouts of the cash.
The fund’s federal bankruptcy court trustee Richard Davis said the money was funneled out of Fletcher International by Fletcher, whom he accused of “obstructionist legal tactics” to avoid the court’s rulings.
The FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission are said to be investigating the matter. Both states’ pension fund’s are suing Fletcher as well.
Fletcher’s colorful career arc also includes his 2011 suit against the Dakota, which he accused in a Manhattan state court lawsuit of racial discrimination.
The famous landmark in the film “Rosemary’s Baby” refused to sell him a fourth unit because of concerns about his finances, it contends. The case is still pending.
Fletcher had hired the Manhattan law firm of Kasowitz, Benson to sue the Dakota, but stiffed the firm on its fees, a judge ruled.
Kasowitz may have a hard time collecting as many of Fletcher’s properties appear to have liens against them.The IRS is owed $2.7 million from a 2010 tax bill and the state of California, $21,480.
In late December, a US Bankruptcy Court judge entered a $140 million judgment against Fletcher International. Fletcher is appealing the judgment, saying he has been “aggrieved.”
Meanwhile, the Louisiana Retirement System is trying many avenues to recoup the monies. On Thursday its board will meet to discuss a suit against Citco, a hedge-fund administrator that emerged as one of the alleged co-conspirators in the possible Fletcher scam.
