“I’m Unemployed”: Scaramucci Finds Himself In Post-Trump Limbo

Jon Alternative Media, Blogosphere, Economy, Government

It started off so promising for Anthony Scaramucci: a prominent supporter of Donald Trump, even when nobody else believed in last November’s shocking outcome, the former SkyBridge president was considered a shoo-in to a high profile position in the new White House, which prompted him to conduct an accelerated, and according to some questionable, sale of his SkyBridge Capital fund of funds to Chinese billionaire investor Chen Feng, which netted the Mooch over $100 million.
Then, one month ago we reported that seemingly having lost his access to the Trump inner circle, according to the WSJ Scaramucci was contemplating starting an asset-management company with Jon Najarian.
So what is the Mooch doing now?
‘I’m unemployed,’ Scaramucci told Bloomberg TV during a Tuesday interview. ‘My status is still unchanged. I’m still about five to six weeks away from closing my transaction.’
Bloomberg confirms that for the past several months, “Scaramucci’s role in the Trump administration has been murky. In January, the media reported he would be named an adviser to Trump and head the White House office of public engagement. But no job has materialized and the administration last month appeared to pass him over for that post.”
