Surf star Conan Hayes’ co-conspirator in voting machine scandal, Tina Peters, jailed for nine years

Conan Hayes is a “a very, very high-end white-hat security guy."

If ever there was a surfer’s life to match the twists of the wild ol Wright family, it would be Conan Hayes, the forty-nine-year-old, Seattle-born peer of Kelly Slater and tamer of giant Cloudbreak and Teahupoo.

For after a relatively successful pro career, which included finishing 12th in 1996, Conan split the sport at the turn of the century to co-found a label that would eventually be worth thirty-ish mill.

Hayes sold his share of the company to his partner Pat Tenore for $7.5 mill and was subsequently erased from its history the company’s website claiming that “RVCA is the brainchild of company founder, PM Tenore.

In 2015, Hayes was hit with grand theft charges by the Orange County DA, who alleged Hayes had committed short sale fraud against the Bank of America “by providing Bank of America with false information concerning his financial net worth, which was in the millions of dollars, in order to qualify for short sale relief.”

The charges were dropped two years later “among a myriad of scandals following the prosecution.”

Conan, a chameleon who, after selling RCVA operated a warehouse importing children’s toys in LA, pivoted into the election denying game, becoming “a minor celebrity” in that particular culture war.

The NY Times revealed Conan was a major player in an “election denial network” who was paid $200,000 by Donald Trump’s legal team, and who allegedly went undercover to make copies of election software, searching for evidence the Dems stole the show from the Grand Old Party in 2020.

Now, sexy blonde bombshell Tina Peters, the former Colorado county clerk who slipped Conan Hayes a security card so he could access the Mesa County election system, has been sent to prison for nine years, the judge telling her:

“You are no hero, you abused your position and you are a charlatan. You cannot help but lie as easy as you breathe.”

A couple of years back, the New Yorker painted a wonderful picture of Conan “Billy” Hayes doin’ his dirty biz.

According to the Times, the person who likely used Wood’s badge and made copies of the Mesa County voting software was Conan James Hayes, a former pro surfer who has been closely associated with Lindell and Patrick Byrne, the former C.E.O. of Overstock.com, who, like Lindell, has spent millions of dollars trying to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. (Dominion filed a defamation lawsuit against Byrne last year, alleging that he “manufactured and promoted fake evidence to convince the world that the 2020 election had been stolen.”)

In a live-stream video posted on Twitter, Byrne offered additional details about how the scheme unfolded: Hayes, whom Byrne described as “a very, very high-end white-hat security guy,” was given “some county credentials, or something, and he dressed up like a little nerd.” When representatives from Dominion Voting Systems and the Colorado secretary of state’s office showed up for the trusted build, Byrne went on, “what’s funny is that unbeknownst to them . . . one of those county workers wasn’t really a county worker.” Byrne said that Hayes FaceTimed him during the software update. “He had a name like Billy or something on his nametag. Billy the county worker. Hey, message to Dominion and Colorado secretary of state, that guy with ‘Billy’ on his nametag next to you, he was actually one of ours. He was filming you fuckers.” (It would later come out that Bishop’s credit card had been used to make the hotel reservation for Hayes’s stay in Grand Junction.)

One month to go til Trump v Kammy go head to head.
