“A senior Citigroup employee was placed on leave after being revealed as the operator of a QAnon website promoting the paedophile conspiracy theory. Qmap.pub was quickly shut down after a fact-checking group identified a 48-year-old New Jersey man, Jason Gelinas, as the developer last week. The website was one of the most popular aggregate archives of posts from the QAnon conspiracy’s figurehead, known as Q, who many adherents believe to be Donald Trump or a member of his administration. Citigroup said Mr Gelinas was placed on paid leave pending an internal investigation. ‘As outlined in our code of conduct, employees are required to disclose and obtain approvals for outside business activities’ Citigroup said in a statement shared with media on Thursday” – The Independent.
