Hedge Fund Titan Scott Bessent Reportedly Unleashes Fiery Threat Against Far-Right Influencer Bill Pulte

A shocking confrontation has come to light, involving Scott Bessent, a prominent hedge fund manager and staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, who allegedly threatened to punch far-right activist and influencer Bill Pulte. The explosive incident reportedly occurred during a heated phone call, escalating a simmering feud rooted in a disastrous business venture.

According to Pulte, Bessent, the CEO of Key Square Capital Management, issued the direct threat, stating he would “punch [Pulte] in the f*ing face.” This alarming declaration came amidst a dispute over GloriFi, a short-lived digital bank aimed at “patriots” which famously collapsed last year, taking with it millions in investor funds, including a significant sum from Bessent.

Pulte, known for his philanthropic endeavors and large social media following, had been publicly critical of Bessent’s involvement in GloriFi, questioning his judgment and investment decisions.

It appears these criticisms struck a nerve, culminating in the alleged verbal assault. Pulte, taking the threat seriously, confirmed he had contacted the Miami Police Department regarding the incident.

The saga of GloriFi itself is a tale of ambition and failure. Launched with much fanfare, promising financial services aligned with conservative values, it quickly foundered, leaving investors and customers in the lurch.

Bessent was an early and significant investor in the venture, and its collapse evidently remains a point of considerable contention.

This isn't the first time Bessent has been embroiled in a public spat. The financier, who notably served as chief investment officer for George Soros before launching his own firm, previously made headlines for a physical altercation with a Bloomberg News reporter in 2017.

In that incident, Bessent reportedly grabbed and pushed the reporter while attempting to confiscate his phone, following questions about his political connections and investments.

The latest alleged threat against Pulte paints a picture of a high-stakes, high-temper world where business disputes can quickly turn personal and volatile.

As Pulte seeks police intervention, the incident casts a long shadow over the reputations of both men, highlighting the intense pressures and often public nature of conflicts involving influential figures in finance and politics.
