Acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker has been linked to a company that among its various offerings was pitching a time travel cryptocurrency.

Whitaker (pictured below), appointed to replaced Jeff Sessions by the Trump administration Nov. 7, sat on the advisory board of a company called Worldwide Patent Marketing from 2014 until the company was shut down by the Federal Trade Commission in 2017.

The company primarily pitched itself as offering ways for inventors to bring their inventions to market but primarily failed to do so, fraudulently raising tens of millions in the process. Worldwide Patent Marketing did, however, bring some products to market, and the list is so bizarre that they couldn’t be made up.

Alongside somewhat more mainstream products such as a “masculine toilet” with a specially designed bowl for “well-endowed men” and underwear pitched with a tagline of “how are your balls feeling today?” Worldwide Patent Marketing was also pitching Sasquatch dolls with a video claiming that “DNA evidence collected in 2013 proves that Bigfoot does exist.”

Then there was the time travel cryptocurrency. Called Time Travel Technologies, the product was described as “a theoretical time travel commodity tied the price of bitcoin.”

How far, or to what point in the future, the time travel cryptocurrency progressed is not clear, since the FTC subsequently shut the company down for fraud.

Exactly how involved Whitaker was in the company is currently open to conjecture. A number of members of the advisory board say they never agreed to be on the board or were tricked into doing so.

That said, Fox News reported that Whitaker made a phone call on behalf Worldwide Patent Marketing and threatened the owner of a scam reporting site over a negative review it published. This suggests that he was not only a willing advisory board member but a willing participant in the company’s activities.

Whitaker denies any involvement in fraudulent activities at the company. The Justice Department noted that “any stories suggesting otherwise are false,” but it has yet to detail publicly his precise involvement with the company or the time travel cryptocurrency.
