Cothren’s Redbird was described as West Palm Beach-based; Idaho identity remains unresolved
Recorded status: Partly verified identity clue; same-entity match UNRESOLVED. Do not attribute Idaho Redbird to Cothren.
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
A September 17, 2024 DOJ Rule 404(b) notice states that Cade Cothren created Redbird Strategies and describes it as based in West Palm Beach, Florida. The same notice alleges a broader pattern of concealing his identity in political entities. However, this was an evidentiary notice describing evidence the government might introduce—not by itself a verdict finding. In April 2025, reporting states Cothren’s personal bank records were excluded from trial. The current Idaho-facing Redbird Strategies website publishes no street address, principals, or staff in its page metadata/content, so the Florida location does not establish either a match or a mismatch. Keep the identity firewall: no merge without address, EIN/W-9, principal, incorporation, invoice, bank, domain-registration, or other unique bridge.
