Leaked Texts Expose Debt and Extremist Culture in Fishback’s Florida Governor Bid

Newly published staff chats reveal financial anxiety inside the operation as creditors seek a ruling that could clear the way to seize his campaign Tesla.

Overview

  • Private messages published March 10 show aides fretting over James Fishback’s debts and discussing whether creditors were already taking his property.
  • Court filings from Greenlight Capital state Fishback owes more than $200,000, with an affidavit warning total exposure could approach $2 million once fees are included.
  • Last week Greenlight asked a judge to affirm that the Tesla Fishback drives belongs to him despite being registered to his father, a step that could enable seizure.
  • The leaked chats feature racist slurs and homophobic rhetoric associated with the 'groyper' movement, reflecting an internal culture aligned with far-right extremism.
  • Whistleblower Bryant Fulgham, who resigned February 18, provided the texts; Fishback did not dispute their authenticity but denied a couch was repossessed, said he never owned a Rolex, and challenged Fulgham’s stated role.
