WASHINGTON — Anthony Scaramucci took no salary during his short tenure as White House communication director — yet his 10-day career detour could end up presenting him with a tax bill of $12 million or more.

That's because the New York hedge fund founder left the White House before he could obtain a "certificate of divestiture" giving him the special tax treatment available to federal employees who give up assets in order to avoid conflicts of interest.

Trump's then-chief of staff Reince Priebus and other staffers had blocked his appointment — a point Scaramucci appears to reference in crude and colorful language in a now-infamous rant to the New Yorker. Priebus was ultimately overruled when Trump brought in Scaramucci as communications director on July 21.

Yet Scaramucci left his White House job Monday – the same day Trump brought on his new chief of staff, John Kelly — before a certificate of divestiture could be issued.

Scaramucci did work in the administration just long enough to be bound by the post-employment restrictions under President Trump's executive order on ethics in the executive branch.

Scaramucci signed an ethics pledge barring him from working as a lobbyist for five years after leaving government — and from ever representing a foreign government. The White House said he hasn’t requested or received any waiver from the ethics pledge.

Once upon a time, a snake was outside the bank of a river, and needed to cross it, but it was too deep for the snake to get across. A fox saw the snake having trouble and walked up to the snake, and said "What is the problem, snake?"
The snake replied, "I need to cross the river, but it is too deep, and I cannot swim."
The fox said, "I can carry you across on my back, but you must agree not to bite me."
The snake replied, "Very well, I promise not to bite you." So the fox let the snake climb onto his back and the fox began to swim across the river. As the fox gets halfway across the river, the snake bites the fox, right on the back of the neck.
As the venom began to set in, paralyzing the fox who was now sinking, he let out a cry, "Why did you do this?! Now we will both die!"
The snake replied, "Because I am a snake."

Trump didn't just stab the guy in the back, he chewed him up and spit him out. It's almost comical how much the guy kissed Trump's ass after abandoning his previously held principles and tossing away the once in a lifetime event like witnessing his son being born just for someone who couldn't give less of a fuck about him.

Trump demands loyalty and yet he's proven that he doesn't reward loyalty, he thinks the loyalty is it's own reward,why would anyone willingly go to work for someone like this?

Why exactly should I feel any sympathy for him? His situation is entirely self inflicted, and he acted the part of a jackass while putting himself in it. I'm going to mock people with shit-tier foresight who opted to proudly put it on display. That's just a given.

Dude with the millions he's about to lose to this imagine how much more he'll lose when his wife and the divorce processings get through with him, the dude completely blacklisted himself from not only politics but cushy jobs at Fox News or CNN or MSNBC. He literally sacrificed everything for Trump and Trump used him as a crash test dummy to stroke his ego, one of many like the people attending his rallies

It's not Trump's fault he said all those things. He knew it was coming eventually the moment it got released.

He'll be fine. As of 2012 (likely much higher now), his net worth was 80 million.

In 2012 he didn't have an ex-wife, a soon-to-be ex-wife, and five child support payments.

Apparently he was already getting a divorce months before this position. And it looks like he's worth a lot more. Sold his stake in part of Skybridge for $200 million earlier this year.

I have always loved this little story. Or anecdote? I dunno

The version I tell it's a scorpion a girl nursed back to health, and when it stings he answers 'bitch, you knew I was a scoprion when you met me'

more of a story / fairy tale. Anecdotes are typically personal accounts of things that allegedly happened for real.

takes various different forms and such, but the moral is the same. If you try to show kindness to a backstabber, he'll take advantage of you and stab you in the back anyway because that's just what he does.
