Hunter Biden, abandoned by his phony Hollywood friends, is now doubling down on his scheme to raid the $10 million fortune of his ailing dad, Joe Biden, sources tell the National Enquirer.
Insiders claim the former first son, 55, had high hopes of making a mint with help from entertainment buddies, but his dreams have gone up in smoke — so he’s going back to the East Coast with his tail between his legs.
“Hunter was hoping to get some producing jobs or a loan or two. But it simply hasn’t happened,” an insider confides.

After 82-year-old Joe ended his White House term in January, Hunter admitted he was drowning in debt and deemed his rented $3 million Malibu mansion unlivable after L.A.’s wildfires burned neighboring homes to the ground.
Sources say the Hunter’s 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things, tanked in its first weeks of publication, and his paintings, whose average price tag hovers around $54,000, are collecting dust.

Now, Hunter is being sued for over $50,000 in allegedly unpaid fees by Winston & Strawn, the law firm that represented him in his gun possession case and other federal probes.
“It’s desperation time, and he’s going back to Delaware to stage a family coup,” the insider explains. “The way he sees it, it’s his only chance for redemption.”
As the Enquirer previously reported, sources say that Hunter is aiming to usurp his 74-year-old stepmom, Jill, to become the conservator of his addled father.
Jill’s reputation has taken a nosedive in political circles after the recent revelation that Joe was diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
Many believe the former first lady may have hidden her husband’s deteriorating condition during his administration and encouraged the Democrat’s ultimately aborted reelection bid while knowing he was unfit to serve.

Several Biden family members were preemptively pardoned in the waning days of Joe’s presidency with autopen-inked orders — but Jill failed to get a pass. Yet, Joe hand-signed a pardon for Hunter, who pleaded guilty to evading a $1.4 million tax bill and was convicted on three federal gun charges.
Some suspect Hunter may have managed the autopen — and others predict he won’t come to Jill’s defense if she’s called to testify before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee about her husband’s physical and mental health.
The insider says, “Hunter means to take control of Joe’s business and financial affairs — and no doubt line his own pockets in the process.”
