Prolific Anti-Trump Internet Troll is Headed to Prison

There are plenty of haters online who oppose President Donald J. Trump. But if you follow Trump on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you’ve almost certainly seen comments from “Ronald Scahill.” That’s because he waits until Trump posts something, and starts leaving comments in a rapid-fire fashion seconds later.

He has a verified account on Twitter, which also makes it more noticeable. Now, he has admitted to lying to investors about a fake broadway play, and is facing serious prison time!

As the AP reports:

Broadway producer admitted on Wednesday that he scammed his friends and others into investing more than $165,000 in a nonexistent play about opera star Kathleen Battle supposedly starring Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o.

Roland Scahill pleaded guilty in state Supreme Court to grand larceny and fraud charges. As part of the plea deal, the 42-year-old Scahill is to be sentenced to six months in jail and five years of probation. He also must repay the investors and receive psychiatric treatment.

Scahill said in court he pretended he had secured the rights to Battle’s life story and had signed a contract with Nyong’o to star in the play. He also falsely claimed Netflix had agreed to film a performance.

Scahill owns a production company called RMS2 Productions. Prosecutors said the investors in the phony play included some of his closest friends. The scheme played out between October 2014 and January 2015.

Here is some examples of his insane Trump trolling:

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Hope he enjoys his time in prison, without Twitter access.
