QAnon influencer and failed Arizona GOP primary candidate Ron Watkins has moved to Australia, his father says

According to his father, Ron Watkins has left the US.

Jim Watkins said during a live stream that he didn't think he was permanently moved to Australia.

It's best for him to be there right now because everyone knows he has had death threats.

Jim Watkins commented on an article about how his son had been spotted in Australia. According to the article, a source had sent the researcher a message about Watkins being seen in the city on July 26.

Feeld sent Insider an image that looked like Watkins at a location in Australia. Insider couldn't confirm if the man in this photo was Watkins.

One of the major places for Qanon supporters is Australia, according to a researcher at the Lowy Institute.

Is that someone like Ron Watkins, with his wealth, technical abilities, and audience? He had the ability to pick which Australian voices he wanted to elevate. He could save the anti-lockdown movement.

The move was not announced on either of his Telegram channels, which have been his primary means of communication.

He accused his opponent of buying votes after he lost the Arizona GOP primary. He only made a fraction of the million dollars he had promised. He was the last person to finish the race.

It is not known when Watkins moved to Australia or how long he will be there. Watkins did not reply immediately.

Watkins is thought to be the man behind the Qanon movement. In April last year, Watkins made an accidental admission while talking to Hoback for a documentary on the group.

According to The New York Times, computer scientists following a digital trail have been led to Watkins.
