Hunter Biden’s laptop repairman says he is facing harassment, threats, and bankruptcy

The owner of the Delaware computer shop, who tipped the FBI to Hunter Biden’s laptop before taking it to Rudy Giuliani, said that he has faced harassment from Big Tech, the IRS, and several other government agencies ever since, and now is facing bankruptcy.

John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner, said he was receiving death threats and was forced to have security in front of the shop.

“I was getting a lot of death threats. I had to have a Wilmington trooper parked in front of my shop all the time,” he said. “There were multiple situations where people came in and you could tell they were not there to have a computer fixed. And if there were not other people in the shop, I don’t know what would have happened. I was having vegetables, eggs, dog s—t thrown at the shop every morning.” 

The 45-year-old said his life was turned completely around after the contents of the laptop became public in several reports dropped by The New York Post in October 2020. Mac Isaac received the laptop after the young Biden dropped it off for repairs in 2019 and never returned to pick it up.

The hard drive held scores of emails, text messages, images, and financial documents between Hunter Biden and his family as well as business associates. Those files pointed to shady business deals around the globe. 

Mac Isaac was forced to close his shop and leave the state in November of 2020, and when he filed for unemployment in December of that year, he ran into complications with government officials.

“I would open up a case, wouldn’t hear anything, then open another case, then open another case and then I was told to stop opening cases. And they would keep closing these cases,” he said.

Once he sent a pointed letter to Delaware Sen. Chris Coons in December 2021 suggesting he could have been the subject of a politically motivated attack, unemployment money came shortly after.

Mac Isaac has since written a book about his experience following the laptop, but he has encountered difficulties in finding a publisher. Still, he said he has no regrets: “If I had the choice to do it again, I would absolutely do it again. I was raised since 9/11 to believe if you see something you say something.”
