Banker Believes Wayfair Child Trafficking Scandal Might Be Real, After Reportedly Finding Large Wire Transfers To Wayfair

A banker (@nashdonnelly) uploaded a video on TikTok to share his creepy experience at work involving Wayfair. The user starts off the video saying he believes the "conspiracy behind Wayfair," an alleged theory involving the e-commerce company and child sex trafficking. In 2020, users were stunned to find storage cabinets on Wayfair's website listed for high prices. The cabinets were all labeled with girls' names, which some speculate were names belonging to missing minors. 

Nash says he did not buy into the theory at first. "So I remember when this first was going on, a lot of people were all up in the air about it. Some people believed it, some people didn't believe it," Nash explains, adding, "And I happen to be one of those people that really didn't believe it. I thought there was no way that this huge corporation would use their website and certain items and certain coupon codes to possibly sex traffick kids."

The TikToker claims he never "really thought too much into" the conspiracy until an event happened at his job that changed his mind. According to Nash, who works for a "well-known bank," an older lady would always come in to do a cash deposit followed by an immediate wire transfer. One day, he finally had the opportunity to assist her with her transfers. "I got a chance to help her, and I remember she did the cash deposit, which was, like, $13,000," he recalls.

Interestingly, the cabinets listed on Wayfair were sold around the $12,000 to $15,000 price range. He continues, "All in cash, and [she] immediately wanted to do a wire transfer. So when I started to help her, I remember the account number was written down on a small piece of paper and the amount. So she was sending about $12,900." 

As Nash was in the process of sending cash to the account number, he learns who the money is going to. "So I got to the part where I need to type in who it [the money] was going to, and she told me it was going to Wayfair," he explains. "And at first, I really didn't think too much into it, because she did have a business account. And I figured, 'Well, maybe she's buying new furniture for her office or whatever.'"

When Nash was done helping the unknown woman, he checked to see her previous transfers – and he was surprised to find that they all went to Wayfair. The woman had apparently sent large sums of cash to Wayfair in the past two months. "There was like, 6 or 7 different wires that she was doing in the past 60 days. And that's when I changed my mind," he said. "I knew that there was no way that this person that is always doing cash deposits, and immediately doing a wire transfer afterward to Wayfair – sending them thousands of dollars in two months – was buying furniture."

Nash, who was understandably alarmed, reported the account for a "secondary review" shortly after spotting the Wayfair transfers. "And the next thing I know, she never comes in again," he concludes.

In the past several months, concerns of child exploitation and abuse in the fashion industry and Hollywood have risen – perhaps there’s no reason to think it’s not happening in major companies.
