Hunter’s lawyers claimed he’s been scrambling for a new place to live and struggling to earn enough to cover basic living expenses. They insisted his focus should be on securing housing and managing personal finances rather than pursuing costly litigation.
Beyond the financial strain, the laptop saga continues to loom over Hunter. He originally sued Ziegler and Marco Polo—a research group Ziegler founded—accusing them of violating laws by building a searchable online database containing 128,000 emails purportedly linked to Hunter.
Although Ziegler previously tried to get the lawsuit thrown out, the court initially refused. Now, however, Hunter is voluntarily retreating.
In related court documents, Hunter disclosed his financial state has hit rock bottom. He confessed he’s “not in a position where I can borrow money,” shattering any illusion of the president’s son enjoying limitless resources.
Hopes for a lucrative rebound through art sales and public appearances have not materialized, either. While his lawyers said he previously relied on his artwork and memoir for income, the market has dried up.
Hunter described a devastating plunge in art revenue. Whereas he once sold 27 pieces over two or three years for an average of $54,500 each, he’s since only managed to sell a single piece for $36,000.
Meanwhile, Hunter’s legal troubles keep snowballing. He was found guilty in a federal gun case and entangled in a federal tax probe, though President Joe Biden intervened to secure an early release from the gun charge’s sentencing scheduled for December.
Further complicating matters, Hunter faces accusations of stiffing former landlords for over $300,000 in unpaid rent—a scandal that adds fuel to allegations of elite privilege and double standards in the justice system.
In another significant retreat, Hunter also dropped his lawsuit against two IRS whistleblowers, Special Agent Gary Shapley and Criminal Investigator Joseph Ziegler. His lawyers filed to dismiss the complaint with prejudice, closing the door on refiling it anywhere else.
That lawsuit originally accused the agents of trying to “embarrass” Hunter through media disclosures about his tax affairs—a claim the agents flatly deny.
Shapley and Ziegler didn’t mince words after Hunter’s sudden withdrawal, declaring in a statement: “It’s always been clear that the lawsuit was an attempt to intimidate us. Intimidation and retaliation were never going to work. We truly wanted our day in court to provide the complete story, but it appears Mr. Biden was afraid to actually fight this case in a court of law after all.”
They added, “His voluntary dismissal of the case tells you everything you need to know about who was right and who was wrong.”
Lawyers for the whistleblowers emphasized the significance of Hunter’s decision: “Hunter Biden dismissed his case with prejudice – meaning he can never bring it again.”
The wave of legal retreats and financial disclosures raises sharp questions about whether Hunter Biden’s high-profile status is shielding him from consequences that would devastate ordinary Americans. Critics argue these recent developments expose not just Hunter’s personal failings but a justice system seemingly bent to accommodate the powerful.
For a man who once commanded five-figure art sales and global influence, Hunter Biden now appears cornered—hemmed in by debt, abandoned lawsuits, and legal woes threatening to haunt both his personal and political future.
