Man who lit himself on fire outside of NYC Trump trial ID'd as antifascist agitator Max Azzarello, final post was singing 'Start a F*cking Revolution'

The man who set himself on fire in front of the courthouse in NYC where Trump's trial is being has been identified as Max Azzarello.  


He dropped a stack of papers that led observers to his Substack called the "Ponzi Papers." 


At the top of his latest article, he wrote, "My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan. This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery: We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup."


In a final video posted to his Instagram, he wanted to "Start a f*cking revolution." 

In his last Substack article he also added, "To my friends and family, witnesses and first responders, I deeply apologize for inflicting this pain upon you. But I assure you it is a drop in the bucket compared to what our government intends to inflict. Because these words are true, this is an act of revolution."


On his LinkedIn page, Azzarello’s profile photo was of him and Bill Clinton.
