It has been widely reported that US Federal officials have served subpoenas to Marxist “influencer” Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Medea Benjamin after they traveled to Cuba in March. This is part of a wider investigation into whether US organizations and leaders violated US laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba’s communist regime.
Someone not mentioned at all in any of the reports is Guy Christensen, aka the Cabbage Pube Kid aka the Performative Poodle, who is claiming the Trump administration wants to investigate him as well:
So the Trump regime wants to investigate me for going to Cuba… Make sure you don’t lose me and go to my bio. pic.twitter.com/14quHFeJfa

He also wrote a Substack article on it:
This is another attempt at imperial escalation against Cuba in order to place it back in the hands of U.S. corporations.
The Trump regime is openly siccing federal agents on activists, journalists, and streamers who dared travel to Cuba in March as part of the Nuestra América Convoy. According to Fox News, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has served administrative subpoenas — “Requests for Information” — to Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Medea Benjamin, demanding financial, logistical, and communications records tied to their trips to Havana.
I was told to expect a subpoena of my own.
I was on the same convoy. Per Fox’s own reporting, the investigation is part of a broader dragnet covering as many as 40 American citizens, with additional subpoenas expected and the inquiry spanning Treasury, State, and the Justice Department. Legal experts cited in the same piece say it could escalate from civil enforcement into a criminal case under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
So this is not hypothetical for me. I am writing this knowing the federal government is preparing to demand my financial records, my communications, and an account of what I brought into Cuba and who I talked to while I was there.
Actually, it is hypothetical. No-one has informed he is to be investigated. He is surmising. Heck, it seems he is willing it to be true.
Because I suspect what hurts this broccoliar most is how Uncle Hasan and Aunt Medea are hogging all the attention from him.
And attention is his drug:
Will we ever see Guy Christensen apologize to the Jewish community, like he's apologized for faking his death to gain TikTok clout? https://t.co/bf1s9fcbcj pic.twitter.com/8yhaCy2dT5

Well, one of them.
So why am I giving this buffoon attention? It is rather simple really. I want the Trump admin to investigate him. If found guilty, he could get up to 20 years in prison per violation, in addition to some hefty financial penalties. And let’s be honest – prison would be this dude’s worst nightmare (besides a real job). Imagine the horror of a cell phone ban for someone who literally feeds on clout. Not to mention shower time with Bubba..
So consider this post my formal referral to the relevant federal authorities. Cabbage Pube Kid hopefully going to learn there is a huge difference between cosplaying as a revolutionary online and dealing with actual consequences in the real world.
