Fact Check
The evidence strongly and consistently supports the statement. The most authoritative source is an exclusive report from Fortune, which is a highly credible financial news outlet. This report, and its syndicated version on Yahoo Finance, explicitly states that the "Scaramuccis led a $220 million investment in a crypto mining firm." This use of the plural "Scaramuccis" directly implies the involvement of both Anthony and AJ Scaramucci. The articles clarify that the investment was led by Solari Capital, a firm founded by AJ Scaramucci, and even include a direct quote from him confirming the deal. This unequivocally establishes AJ's involvement. Anthony Scaramucci's involvement is strongly implied by the plural headline in the primary source and the use of "Scaramucci family" in other credible secondary reports from outlets like Cointelegraph and Markets.com. There are no direct contradictions in the provided evidence. While some sources are irrelevant as they discuss other topics, none of the relevant sources dispute the core claim. The consistency across multiple high-authority primary and secondary sources provides a high degree of confidence that both individuals were involved in the investment into an American Bitcoin mining firm.
