Biden’s Venmo Account Found In 10 Minutes

May 15, 2021 at 7:47 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

BuzzFeed News: “On Friday, following a passing mention in the New York Times that the president had sent his grandchildren money on Venmo, BuzzFeed News searched for the president’s account using only a combination of the app’s built-in search tool and public friends feature.”

“In the process, BuzzFeed News found nearly a dozen Biden family members and mapped out a social web that encompasses not only the first family, but a wide network of people around them, including the president’s children, grandchildren, senior White House officials, and all of their contacts on Venmo.”
