From WikiAlpha
'Big Joe{{'} Ellicott is a former radio DJ, sometimes characterized as a "shock jock", who was linked to the Matt Gaetz sex scandal.[1][2]
He pled guilty in January, 2022, to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and distribution of a controlled substance.[1] He is expected to testify against Gaetz.[3] Ellicott has gone on record that he was present, with Gaetz, in 2017, when he received a phone call from fellow Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg that the teenage girl they had both paid for sex with, known to them as "vintage99" had been born in 1999, and was still below the legal age of consent.
Ellicott has admitted he sold black market adderol.[3]
