The Role of Ivan Raiklin

Ivan Raiklin, a far-right activist and former DIA official, is introduced as a central figure among a gathering of Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and January 6th Capitol rioters. He is attempting to mobilize these groups in a lawsuit against the Department of Justice while simultaneously launching a meme cryptocurrency called Proudcoin to fund this effort. Initially, Raiklin gained notoriety for promoting the Pence Card, a false narrative suggesting Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the 2020 election results, which contributed to the violent events of January 6th. Despite his ambitious rhetoric and self-appointed title of 'Secretary of Retribution,' the likelihood of any actionable outcomes from his endeavors appears dubious given his history of failed ventures.
