Many hate the guy, but it turns out he was right on a lot of issues.

On Friday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that John Duncan Fordham, a Georgia pharmacist pardoned by former President Donald Trump for his role in a massive health care fraud scheme, is now suing the state to demand they refund all the restitution money he had to pay as part of his sentence.

"Fordham spent four years in prison after his 2005 health care fraud conviction, and his assets were seized and liquidated to help make whole the state and a private insurance company he had defrauded. At the time of his January 2021 pardon, Fordham had made good on $531,000 in restitution payments," reported Dylan Jackson. "And while the pardon erased the nearly half million he and his company still owed, that wasn’t good enough for Fordham. On Thursday, he took the extraordinary step of suing the state and the insurance company to pay him the hundreds of thousands he had already paid in restitution, claiming that Trump’s pardon had entitled him to recover the funds — plus interest."

In a Sunday evening Facebook post, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said that they received a 911 call "from the area of Glenwood Drive in Walled Lake by a young woman who stated that she had just been shot by her father."

According to the sheriff's office, deputies had to triangulate the 911 call after the caller was unable to give an exact location. Sheriff's deputies eventually found the residence where the call was made from. When deputies arrived, "they heard a gun shot and began to approach the home." The sheriff's office added that a man, 53-year-old Igor Lanis, opened the front door and fired a shotgun at deputies, prompting them to return fire and to fatally shoot him.

Meanwhile, Rebecca Lanis, who identified herself as Lanis' other daughter, spoke with The Detroit News and said she published a Reddit post on the subreddit, "QAnonCasualties," which is connected to the popular QAnon conspiracy theory, shortly after the shooting. The title of her post was: "My Qdad snapped and killed my family this morning."

"Yep. The internet ruined him," Rebecca wrote. "In 2020 after Trump lost, my dad started going down the Q rabbit hole. He kept reading conspiracy theories about the stolen election, Trump, vaccines, etc. He always said he wanted to keep us safe and healthy."

She continued: "Well, at around 4 AM on September 11, he had an argument with my mother and he decided to take our guns and shoot her, my dog and my sister. My mother succumbed to her wounds and my sister is in the hospital right now. My dad also fired back at the cops and they killed him."

In its Facebook post, the sheriff's office said that after fatally shooting Igor, deputies searched the residence and found a 25-year-old female who made the 911 call.

"She stated that her dad shot her and her mother. She was transported to an area hospital and rushed into emergency surgery. She was initially listed in critical condition however after surgery has been upgraded to stable condition," the post said, which added that a 56-year-old female, who was "shot multiple times in the back," was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Further investigation by the Oakland County Special Investigations Unit in conjunction with the Walled Lake Police Department is ongoing," the sheriff's office said.

Newsweek reached out to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office for comment.

"I think that he was always prone to (mental issues), but it really brought him down when he was reading all those weird things on the internet," Rebecca told The Detroit News, who added that following Trump's loss in 2020, her father became indulged in "crazy ideas" he found on the internet, including QAnon conspiracy theories.

"Nobody could talk him out of them," she said.

In addition to fatally shooting his wife, Igor also killed the family dog, the sheriff's office said.

Btw, I first I heard the other day, there has been a Q conspiracy about the Queen already being dead long before she actually died.

I would not be surprised if she died the night before stated.

Maybe not totally dissimilar to when her Grandfather, King George V was killed by his doctor in the late evening, so that it could be reported in the morning broadsheets rather than the evening tabloids.
