This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Ryan Holiday (May 7, 2019). "What do right-wing trolls like Jacob Wohl actually want? Easy — I wrote the book on it". USA Today. Archived from the original on May 7, 2019. Retrieved May 7, 2019. Headlines. More followers. The ability to claim that they're somebody — that's the allure, even if it comes at the cost of what looks to normal people like total humiliation. Wohl would otherwise only be a low-level alleged financial con man from Arizona. But look at his Wikipedia page (or even the fact that he has a Wikipedia page). Because of all the attention he's gotten, it's more detailed than some world leaders.

The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article relates to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people.

the upcoming movie Maximum Truth (trailer) seems to be very explicitly based on Wohl and Burkman, whats the proper way to include it here? --jonas (talk) 20:55, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Find reliable sources that make the connection and provide them here. That's the first step. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:08, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've added a brief mention of the mockumentary in the section about the kidnapping with two sources that explicitly connect the film to Wohl. Cortador (talk) 16:22, 1 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
