A Proud Boys leader obtained a lookalike's passport so he could flee the country, DOJ says.

Offering an "absurd "explanation, he said:
- it belonged to his wife's ex-bf
- she kept it for years, to be reminded of her ex
- she kept it in their marital bedroom, next to her passport

Doesn't identify which Proud Boy, although I haven't seen any bright ones yet.

And he seems to be cool with it, so must be a pretty open minded guy.

and what's the shelf life of a passport these days?

Why would the ex let her have his passport?

This makes no sense.

This is the case of Ethan Nordean aka "Rufio Panman." Last section of this court filing (link via Politico) https://politico.com/f/?id=00000177-efba-d594-a77f-ffbbd5340001

Anyway, ADIOS ETHAN, and hey, nice try there, eh?

I sure hope the judge doesn't get all snitty and have him remanded to custody until trial, like some kind of common criminal. Just think of the impact that could have on his future!
