(CNN) At first glance, "Matte Nox" looks like your typical thirty-something wannabe Internet influencer, flaunting a lavish lifestyle on his public Instagram and TikTok accounts.
He drives a black Porsche Panamera around Los Angeles at night, often to the soundtrack of club music. He lives in a luxury high-rise apartment downtown and parties with aspiring models at nightclubs. He posts shirtless selfies, displaying a prominent chest tattoo that reads, "God Will Give Me Justice." He shows off his crystal-encrusted Gucci rings, Yves Saint-Laurent sunglasses and a handmade designer hat with his name engraved.
"Your life doesn't need a purpose, just money," Nox writes in one post.
Nox is an "award-winning writer" and "executive producer," according to his online bio. In his LinkedIn accounts, he describes himself as an investor in "women-led ventures," including a modeling agency and a beauty company that sells face masks.
But like so many things on the internet, "Matte Nox" is not who he appears to be. "Matte Nox" is the assumed name and online persona of Matthew Tunstall, a 34-year-old from Texas who over the past three years has raised millions of dollars operating two political action committees that impersonated the Trump campaign.

I would prefer the money go to this guy then actually go to funding Trump. Those scammed by this are all Trump supporters.
