No one becomes an informant just because. Curious what illegal activities he was caught up in.
Curious what illegal activities he was caught up in.
He’s a billionaire, so not sure how much time you have here… 😉
I’m assume sex trafficking as that’s the safe bet with his type these days.
The right will turn on him fast
Too rich and probably a big donor. They will make an exception.
He was trying to rat on other software titans that he thought were cozying up to China.
That’s the elites, the common folk, will hate him and refuse anything he says. The trump voters.
So in his world, he’s fine, but it’s the end of his political power.
To be fair he was always a surveillance and sell customers out kinda cunt. Wouldn’t be surprised to be an informant too
This is the best summary I could come up with:
PayPal co-founder, venture capitalist, Republican megadonor, and disputed vampire Peter Thiel may also have been an FBI informant — at least according to a new report from Insider.
Insider spoke to multiple people who claim Thiel became a “confidential human source” for a Los Angeles-based agent named Johnathan Buma — a term that indicates a long-running relationship with the FBI, allegedly beginning in 2021.
Holding longtime informant status would put Thiel at odds with parts of the Republican party, which has grown hostile to the FBI amid its investigations of Trump.
But Thiel has stepped back from politics during the 2024 US presidential election, reportedly because he felt that Republicans were focused on domestic culture wars instead of American economic competitiveness.
As Insider notes, Thiel has urged the FBI to investigate Google for Chinese government infiltration.
Passing the agency tips about foreign contacts would align neatly with his concerns about foreign influence in tech — and until he can hole up full time in a bunker in New Zealand, his deep Silicon Valley connections are likely worth cultivating by the FBI.
The original article contains 389 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 53%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
That doesn’t mean he was “informing” on the right wing conspiracies. I will bet money that this is going to turn out like the January 6th informants, who were right wing nutjobs hired by the FBI to… “investigate antifa.”
