Gaetz case takes bizarre tabloid turn

MIAMI — A sugar daddy website linked to the sex-trafficking investigation of Matt Gaetz publicly weighed in on the scandal, saying the lawmaker has never been registered on the site in search of young women.

The unusual move by the web site SeekingArrangement puts some distance between Gaetz and the accusation against him. The site had been caught up in the Gaetz case because it had reportedly been used by the GOP lawmaker and another key player in the case to connect with an underage girl for sex.

SeekingArrangement, which helps “sugar babies” connect online with men, released a statement because of yet another odd twist in the case: The former mistress of golfer Tiger Woods sued the website claiming it wrongfully terminated her contract as the company's spokesperson. The plaintiff, Rachel Uchitel, said she was fired because SeekingArrangement was in damage control due to the investigation into Gaetz, which is unrelated to her lawsuit.

Uchitel never met or had any interactions with Gaetz. She also had no connection to Gaetz’ former friend and “wingman,” Joel Greenberg, a former Florida county tax collector who had met a 17-year-old on SeekingArrangement and admitted to prosecutors that he had sex with her in 2017.

1. How would the website even know?

The most they could possibly know is that there was no user or credit card with his name.

That doesn't mean he never used the website.

Never mind that I'm sure it's not the only website in the world....

5. I'm still trying to fathom how anyone would register with such a website...

...using their real name.

11. Their clientele is a bit out of the norm

I'm sure you do not typically run with their clientele who are generally people with little to no redeeming qualities other than access to money.

2. I've read that a sugar daddy who is not sufficiently generous

is known as a Splenda daddy.

4. No, a Saccharine Daddy...

...one that starts out tasting sweet, but leaves a bitter aftertaste.

8. You want a sugar daddy? Sorry, my wallet is hypoglycemic.

3. No-Denial, Denial

This statement is just as good as "I don't recall" as an answer in a deposition. Everyone knows you are lying but they can't do anything about it.

“Seeking.com has no knowledge of Mr. Gaetz ever having an account on the website,” the company said in its statement.

13. Because they erase everything and never look?

ok. gotcha.
