And he is keeping the money as well.

As civil litigation over the now-defunct company trudges on, financial records show that the company paid Whitaker at least $9,375 between October 2014 and late February 2016, and owed him $7,500 more for work between May 2016 and February 2017.

Sessions tapped Whitaker as his chief of staff in September 2017, some seven months after that last scheduled payment.

Whitaker’s new position will allow him to oversee the FBI, whose Miami bureau is in charge of the active WPM investigation, according to the Journal’s report.

The Department of Justice declined to comment on whether Whitaker returned what WPM paid him for his role on the 12-member “Invention Team Advisory Board.” Jonathan Perlman, a receiver in charge of the court-ordered investigation of WPM, told the Journal that Whitaker had not. Perlman also characterized the advisory board to be a sham designed to “impress customers and foster sales.”
