I just feel bad for Wohl at this point. I don't want to try to diagnose anything, but he's just *so* bad at this and so prolific that there has to be something compelling it. He's 20 now and thus responsible for his own actions, but a lot of adults failed him in his life every step of the way.
He is a wealthy white male in American society, with a father who is all-in on Trump. I imagine that is where most of it comes from.
If you are shielded from consequences your whole life, this is what happens. And given that his father's Twitter bio says 'father of @JacobAWohl +3', it's clear that dad is 100% behind playing favourites.
Wait, his name is Jacob A. Wohl? I mentioned to @Forar the other day that if he went by Jay, he'd be Jaywohl (as part of a joke that he should get a job running a coal concern, cause then he'd be Jawohl, Mine Capitan).
But his father actually gave him the initialed name J.A.Wohl?
This reality's screenwriters are HACKS!
There is absolutely no way it's an accident, anymore than when rednecks name their daughters to have the initials KKK. His father is a far right wing lawyer; he probably thought he was being cute in the exact same way.
Let's examine the kind of person Jacob Wohl through the circumstances of his lifetime ban from the NFA. (I posted this on a different forum, but I suspect it'll interest people here as well.)
https://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/CaseDocument.aspx?seqnum=4345 (complaint) https://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/CaseDocument.aspx?seqnum=4428 (decision)
* In May 2016, an investor asked to withdraw his money from a hedge fund owned by Jacob Wohl. Jacob eventually did so, after multiple requests, but only returned about half his money, and claimed the rest was lost in a market downturn. (The NFA disagree with that excuse.)
* Jacob then declared that he was no longer doing business in anything that the NFA regulates, and therefore was leaving. (This takes 30 days to take effect, by NFA rules.)
* The NFA decided that the missing money looked super fishy, and decided to stop by to do an inspection of his books.
* They called, emailed, and physically stopped by the address on file (a residential house), but with no response.
* They tried again the next day, then tried other addresses they had on file.
* (One of the addresses was apparently Jacob's father's house. A small kid answered the door.)
* Jacob's father called and threatened to sue and/or call the cops on them for trespassing.
* (Also, Jacob calls and says the same thing. Also, he's getting a restraining order.)
* The NFA finally decide that this merits a ban.
* Jacob was an NFA member from February to July, 2016, about five months.
Bonus!
This was the third time Jacob Wohl came to the attention of the NFA. The first time, he was operating as a unregistered hedge fund trader. The second, (after registering) he was putting out promotional material that was missing required disclosures, suggested returns of 149% percent, and stated that Jacob (18 at the time) had 9 years of trading experience. (The complaint says "After several weeks of discussions with Wohl, Wohl removed the offending material from Nex Capital's website", which I suspect is glossing over the nature of these discussions.)
Bonus 2!
Here's the article that led the NFA to catch Jacob running an unregistered hedge fund: https://valuewalkpremium.com/2015/03/hedge-fund-jacob-whol/
I do wonder who was really running that hedge fund. From the article:
* When asked if he purchased options or sold them as an income producing overlay to his long exposure, Wohl didn’t go into detail. (I.e., didn't answer the question.)
* He also refused to answer detailed questions about his strategy.
* He also advocates an active trading strategy, something that studies have shown lead to investor losses, particularly if they are non-professionals. (i.e., daytrading)
* “So as long as you’re trading enough you’re going to be all good,” was the somewhat odd advice he gave on the KTLA report.
* EDIT: and he claims he learned how to use derivatives and technical trading overlays from an online tutorial.
* EDIT: and he had 20 clients, with a total of $200,000. In high school.

He has a terminal case of Affluenza and won't see the inside of a jail.
At worst he'll get house arrest and continue with schemes that make James O'Keefe look like a genius.
Would house arrest these days also entail computer and internet restrictions? Because I would enjoy seeing him lash out and get in further trouble because he wants to keep tweeting about things he supposedly heard in hipster coffee shops.
Because oh yeah, he was that twerp who claimed all the time that he overheard people in 'hipster coffee shops' talking about how great and strong and manly Trump was.

Yeah, even with the Arpaio thing, the fact that neither Cohen or Manafort held out much confidence they'd get one, doesn't fill me with confidence that Trump will whip out the pen for him. Especially given pardoning someone for attempting to obstruct justice on his behalf is probably not a good political position to take, given he's under investigation for attempting to obstruct justice. Hell, it could probably be argued that the pardon is itself obstruction of justice, as it opens the door to "Won't someone obstruct this meddlesome prosecutor?", if they can expect pardons.
But who knows? He got into a twitter beef with Chrissy Tiegen about how she's most famous for being the wife of a famous person. Not seeming to understand that she had a successful career in her own right, and he's famous for being a massive fuckup, not once, but twice (futures trading, and this clusterfuck). Not that I need to defend her, she's currently kicking his ass all by herself.

This really needs to be emphasized, because while some folks seem to think that trump will use his powers to protect anyone and everyone who is conservative, the reality is that there really hasn't been any rhyme or reason to it; like yes he pardoned Arpaio (who is such a characature of a corrupt country sheriff that I'm kind of mystified that it isn't performance art) a man who praised him and treated latinos like shit, but he also pardoned some some woman because Kim Kardashian asked him to.

He has probably forgotten that he has pardon powers at this point because he can only hold like one or two things in his decayed infantile mind at a time. His sycophants and handlers like Stephen Miller might be waiting until after midterms to remind Trump that he can own the libs by pardoning [random jackasses] but Wohl is such a laughingstock even to right-wingers that the handlers wouldn't do it; that would just be self-owning which is Wohl's job.
