An investment firm directed by President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden was a financial backer of the online virtual reality game “IMVU,” which has faced repeated controversies over child predators exploiting the app to find and connect with minors. The President’s son, Hunter, also appears to have established an account on the website, according to details confirmed by The National Pulse from his “laptop from hell.”
Founded in 2004, the virtual world and social networking site ‘IMVU’ allows players to create a personalized avatar and interact with others users via public and private chat rooms.
The platform – described as a “metaverse” style concept– has repeatedly boasted of its “most vibrant and young” user base despite also allowing adult content and communities for fandoms including “furries.”
The investment sticks out among the rest of the portfolio of Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners (RSTP) – a subsidiary of the Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz-founded Rosemont Capital – which includes Metabiota, a pandemic tracking and response firm with ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Ukrainian biological laboratories.
RSTP counted both Biden and Heinz as managing directors. Heinz is the stepson of former U.S. Secretary of State and current Climate czar John Kerry.
Though the technology-focused investment fund’s website has been deleted, archived webpages reveal IMVU belonged to RSTP’s portfolio since at least March 2014.
Public safety officials have warned against children and teenagers using the “really dangerous” app given its ability for users to remain anonymous and not have to publicly identify their age.
‘Really Dangerous’
“I wouldn’t really recommend this even for 18 year olds. I think that it’s a dangerous app for anyone to use, and there’s no real way to track the age group,” urged a Victim’s Assistance Center of Jefferson County, New York spokesman.
“So you don’t know who you’re chatting with and you’re making an avatar. You also don’t know what they look like and that can be really dangerous.”
The algorithms behind IMVU also make it difficult for law enforcement to track users, creating additional complications in cases concerning child abuse or harassment.
“Sometimes in an investigation, they have a hard time figuring out who these people are and they’re hiding behind an IP address or a fake account. And that makes it difficult to get that child justice,” the official added.
In practice, the app has been used by child predators to lure in – and prey on – potential victims.
In February 2007, a 26-year-old man was arrested in Colorado on suspicion of child luring following a law enforcement sting operation on IMVU.
“Investigators say Wood was in the 3-D chat room IMVU which uses avatar animated characters designed by members. They say Wood contacted who he thought was a young female but was actually a law enforcement officer acting as a decoy,” explained a report.
IMVU FEATURES SEVERAL STRIP CLUBS.
Denver District Attorney Scott Storey warned that the platform’s efforts to make itself enticing to young users were making it an easy resource for “predators to hide behind a facade as they lure our unsuspecting children.”
“The use of avatar animation on this site will make it even more appealing to younger users. It appears to kids to be a perfect world where they can create themselves to look like they want to look and dress like they want to dress. They can direct and star in their own video. In reality, it is just one more resource for predators to hide behind a facade as they lure our unsuspecting children,” he explained.
IMVU was also singled out in an investigation exposing how child predators exploit online computer games to target victims. Suffolk Police in the United Kingdom dealt with a case of a 10-year-old girl being groomed on IMVU, the report revealed.
Similarly, a 26-year-old Illinois resident was arrested for sending explicit images to a young girl between the ages of five and 16 he befriended on IMVU. When the suspected pedophile’s house was searched, authorities found roughly 20 images of child pornography involving two victims.
The Hard Drive from Hell
A search of ‘IMVU’ on Hunter Biden’s estranged laptop reveals that on November 12, 2017, Hunter Biden set up an account on IMVU using his burner e-mail account ‘DroidHunter88′. It is unclear what the ’88’ in the e-mail is related to, though the Anti-Defamation League claims the number is a reference to “Heil Hitler” as the letter H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
The user: “arden170” or “guest_arden170” appears to no longer exist on the platform.
THE ACCOUNT SETUP E-MAIL ON HUNTER’S LAPTOP.
Hunter’s “DroidHunter88” e-mail account was often used for sign ups to pornography or sex-related websites such as “Adult Friend Finder” as well as “PornHub” and “Firecams”. An e-mail from “DirtyRoulette” suggests the account was being fed “tokens” at $500, $400, $300, $200, $100, $99, $50, $26, and $20 increments over a period of years.
In total, the expenditure adds up to tens of thousands of dollars on sex websites, with e-mails confirming Hunter’s full name – Robert Hunter Biden – still accessible on the drive.
ONE OF THE MANY RECEIPTS SENT TO ‘DROIDHUNTER88’.
A poll of children analyzing which websites were most likely to present users with unwanted pornographic material counted IMVU as one of the riskiest sites to visit, with an 18-year-old who reviewed social community revealing, “lots of adults are sexual through their characters, for example talking about sex, and also drugs.”
The unearthed investment comes amidst links between Democratic part officials and activists and pedophilia continued to be exposed, and as the corporate media demands conservatives stop using the term “groomer” to describe child sex and gender obsessives.
Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R), endorsed by former President Donald Trump days ago, has won the state’s Republican gubernatorial primary and will face Democrat Josh Shapiro in the general election.
Mastriano, who billed himself as an anti-establishment outsider who would investigate Pennsylvania’s 2020 election results, took a large lead with election day voters and swept some counties with more than 50 percent of the vote.
Trump jumped in to back Mastriano last week while the candidate led multiple polls, some by double digits ahead of former Rep. Lou Barletta (R-PA).

Barletta had called on other Republican candidates Bill McSwain and Dave White to drop out of the race and endorse his candidacy to help consolidate support.
Mastriano faces Shapiro in the general election which takes place on November 8.

“I’ve really never seen the swamp launch such a coordinated attack against any individual in politics except for Donald Trump,” Cawthorn said in reaction to the attacks against him.

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is now the projected winner in the state’s Democrat primary for the U.S. Senate seat.
“John Fetterman wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania primary election,” the Associated Press declared on Tuesday.

Fetterman’s victory in the primary comes after he suffered a stroke and underwent treatment at Lancaster hospital well into election day.
“I hadn’t been feeling well, but was so focused on the campaign that I ignored the signs and just kept going. On Friday it finally caught up with me,” Fetterman said on Sunday. “I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long.”
On Friday, I wasn’t feeling well, so I went to the hospital to get checked out.
I didn’t want to go – I didn’t think I had to – but @giselefetterman insisted, and as usual, she was right.

Doctors said that Fetterman did not suffer from any cognitive injuries as a result of the stroke. He credited his wife for having him visit the hospital early.
“Fortunately, Gisele spotted the symptoms and got me to the hospital within minutes,” Fetterman said. “The amazing doctors here were able to quickly and completely remove the clot, reversing the stroke, they got my heart under control as well. It’s a good reminder to listen to your body and be aware of the signs.”
John Fetterman has taken a radical position on abortion, referring to the unfettered practice as a “sacred” act.
“Let’s be clear: The right to an abortion is sacred. Democrats have to act quickly – get rid of the filibuster to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act + finally codify Roe into law. We cannot afford to wait,” he tweeted this month.
