“QAnon Shaman” Jacob Angeli Chansley is cashing in a day after being freed by selling mock movie posters, children’s clothes and pictures of himself, as he boasted in his first interview since jail that he tried to help other inmates and “taught a metaphysics class.”
Chansley — who captured headlines as the horned, shirtless, heavily tattooed figure among throngs of Jan. 6 Capitol protesters — was a free man Thursday after 27 months in a federal prison and two in a halfway house.
He was quick to go public with his website selling gift cards, mouse pads and phone cases, children’s clothes, T-shirts, sandals and aprons — some of which had already sold out by Friday afternoon.
Interested shoppers can choose from themed pictures, including a $99 mock movie poster of Chansley flanked by former President Trump and former national security adviser Michael Flynn in the style of the poster of the mob hit “GoodFellas.”
“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a patriot,” the movie poster states, along with the title, “QuItFellas”
It’s a small deviation from the cult-classic movie’s famous quote: “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.”
“Goodfellas” tells the story of Henry Hill’s upbringing and life in the mob, as he navigates crime, murder and the effects of his mafia lifestyle.
Chansley appears to also be offering courses and booking opportunities for him to speak through his “Forbidden Truth Academy.”
He has also since announced a podcast and a website and pushed several media appearances through a newly created Twitter account.
