I'm consistently perplexed by the origin story and # of employees of OnlyFans and what gets reported and distributed. OnlyFans current CEO Ami Gan has said there were over 1000 employees, with over 80% of them working on content moderation and support. This just doesn't tie off https://t.co/KSF05ajwxA

Joe Lonsdale of 8VC runs a wine pyramid scheme called OneHope Wine. Joe is the Exec Chairman of OneHope Wine and OneHope Wine's CEO is on 8VC's Board. I'm confident based on multiple conversations that OneHope Wine is a large buyer of Joe Lonsdale's tech interests. 🙃 https://t.co/23xPPkEUci

There are several layers to this. The main one is digitalizing prostitution (a paper cash business). The performers get paid out via OnlyFans then kick that up to the operators of these venues where they film from. They are prostitutes who have handlers/pimps and instead of

Question: do people not realize that OnlyFans is a gigantic money laundering operation? -There's no way to value streaming of adult videos. The sell side of the marketplace can set a high price and the buy side of the marketplace, if working with the sell side, can keep the https://t.co/TlWzYxp1OG

Boy I'd hate to be David Sacks @DavidSacks, lead investor in the Done Adderall pill mill. David Sacks' other drug-related lead investment - WAYV - ended up with CEO Keith McCarty rooming with a money launderer, crack, illegal possession of firearms, and hookers. https://t.co/dx3MRQf05r

I haven’t received an investor update on any of my angel investments in a year. Am I cooked?

Is it time for Snowflake $SNOW to (finally) acquire LiveRamp $RAMP? -Snow’s penetration into Global 2000 accounts is largely a fiction. Many of these accounts sit idle or only do “data sharing” via Snow. -LiveRamp is finally available at a good price. -LiveRamp is trusted

PROMPT: I'd like to learn more about Veradigm's $MDRX acquisition of Will Manidis' ScienceIO. -We know this acquisition occurred right in line with $MDRX's delisting from NASDAQ due to ongoing accounting issues and the failure to provide accurate financial reporting. https://t.co/OkuDKikk53

It's amazing how you, David Sacks, led a round in WAYV, where your former exec at Yammer Keith McCarty was in possession of crack cocaine and firearms, rooming with someone caught up in the Wirecard money laundering scandal. Your VC persona is a front. You are in the Mafia, https://t.co/b5JTKNgik3

Naval Ravikant running AngelList and then trading access to US companies and data for a Chinese cash injection is the #1 most obvious story in Silicon Valley. You have to ask yourself why Silicon Valley media hasn't covered this. Pathetic. https://t.co/HTPiLcpHN7

One of my top 10 follows, hands down.

Mike is a top follow btw - not saying he's "just learning this now" here, he's on point on many things.

Many are only just now realizing the scope/scale of incremental startup equity collateralizing real estate investments and RE leasing office space to incremental startups. Now people can logically figure out why all these VC talking heads want people to RTO.

The next CCP-related money network to fall will be the Xiao Jianhua family network (Alpha Square Group, J17 Capital, WinnerMax real estate group w/ dozens of shell companies in Greater Toronto, etc.) I've been all over this for a long time. I'll have to write a book one day. https://t.co/U7lhviwPFn

Yes, Will Manidis has no idea what he's talking about re: Carta and Chinese money networks. He needs to be tagged, logged, and watched. (I've already had my sensors and feelers on him for a while with his Thiel-network connections.) 🇺🇸🦅

One great way to snuff out where dirty foreign money is getting filtered is to look at who is openly "defending the other side" when it comes to US defense and security. These people are not bright, even though they carry around papers that say they are smart. Keep eyes 👀 and https://t.co/2RsnaZj0sd

RT @NonGaap: $SNOW expects to concurrently repurchase $575M shares from "purchasers of the notes... in privately negotiated transactions"…

George Fraser of Fivetran finally blocked me. 😢 Every data/analytics person: go look at the absolute state of his absurd Streamlit (owned by $SNOW) app he's promoting. Look at it. Look at how silly this is. There is nothing, nothing, nothing of any value to any customer here, https://t.co/G38vNwQ2Bz

I am very...bored?...unsettled?...listless?...in my life. I've run some small businesses and done fine. I know deep analytics very well and I know how to get deep on any company to find the "real" story, especially around tech. I would really love a mentor, whatever that means.

September Sillies: $SNOW, $RUM, and more fun https://t.co/olZacHivc5

at the end of the day these are similar stories. Ignore the politics of Rumble...it's just a case of raiding the balance sheet of a public company to provide liquidity for M&A of VC plays

Should we do a Snowflake $SNOW spaces? Maybe throw in some Joe Lonsdale/David Sacks BS as well around Rumble $RUM?

I've churned millions in ARR off George and Fivetran over the last 2 years. This Andreessen Horowitz game around Fivetran and dbt generated compute is a disgrace. https://t.co/BB3JIsAnzv

Yes, the US markets are no more sophisticated than those of most developing countries, even though we like to come up with reasons and "data science" why this fact is not true. The other scam around database/analytics companies is all the made up China revenue, which usually

Right on schedule, we're back to desalination plants from the Thiel money network. 👉I'd like to learn more about what Peter Thiel and Sarah Cone are up to with these two desalination companies specifically: Trident Desalination and Cetos Water. They have literally the same https://t.co/tce8b2n6Kl

Friendly reminder that you can start an LLC and sell your work above salary rates and deal with none of this circus.

Who is the doctor doing hair transplants for Joe Lonsdale, John Chambers, all the right-wing VC guys? It's too aggressive, too angled, and as the hair thins out anyway it looks ridiculous. I want a name of this doctor. Clear pattern. Looking into shorting a basket of names. https://t.co/RogZ3xRcDg

I would like to learn more about VC Sarah Cone's "company" Column. Column has been teased and in alpha test phase for over 4 years now. I believe it is a pure front for Sarah Cone's Panama Papers husband Geoffrey Cone and a fake company. lauren at uprightanalytics dot com https://t.co/C6lWK9JOrn

PROMPT: I would like to know more about VC Sarah Cone/"Susie Crane" and Trident Desalination and Cetos Water. 1. Both Trident Desalination and Cetos Water have basically the same website and do the same thing. 2. We know Peter Thiel is obsessed with negative energy return https://t.co/CkE6aNRllJ

Sarah Cone you should get in contact with me. I'm easy to find. You're a sex nun. Many in your 8VC/Founders Fund/Thiel circle are going down. Your husband is a "fixer" from the Panama Papers. This is your opportunity. If you fail to reach me by 12PM US ET tomorrow you're done. https://t.co/cgov4yRgda

Is VC Sarah Cone @sarah_cone actually "Susie Crane" - the woman who penned a now-pseudonymous 2013 CNN piece about wild sex in hotels? Is Susie Crane's husband "who travels for work" actually Geoffrey Cone of Panama Papers fame? --- 1. In 2013 CNN published a firsthand story https://t.co/i4BfSZ9iDg

There are many fake VCs and fake VC firms out there. Some don't even exist and are pure urban legends to conceal organized crime. https://t.co/8tTMcWlymd

This is why AI is a sham, by the way. 1. I wish to do deep research and diligence on VC Sarah Cone. 2. I posted a short prompt into X, below. 3. I've already had several people reach out offering the information I desire. You can't get this with Google Search or AI. Deep

New York's hottest venture capital firm is Social Impact Capital. This firm's got everything. -Stephen Wolfram -the chief economist from audit firm KPMG -a bunch of random people who followed Sarah Cone on Twitter once -Paul Fleming, the former Global Water Program Manager at https://t.co/eOHFCTGEPk

The AUM alone can't support this amount of "venture partners" at the firm. I have it on good word from multiple ppl that ppl just get listed on there if they, like, did a small job for her on contract or like a small business deal a few years ago...they are not partners.

I'd like to learn more about VC Sarah Cone, her "secretive" husband, and her relationship with Peter Thiel. Her Social Impact Capital website has fake employees - people who like did some light contract work listed as partners. lauren at uprightanalytics dot com

All evidence points to better cameras in new $AAPL devices. This will reveal more facial imperfections in pictures, and app filtering is a trend that has died. This seems to bode very well for cosmetics stocks $ELF $ULTA that do well on concealers, foundations, BB creams, etc.

1. Nobody is using these silly app filters anymore. eg. Snapchat $SNAP dog ears, virtual makeup. 2. The cosmetics industry is driven by recurring revenue on concealers, blush, BB creams, CC creams (the stuff you put on your skin) and new customer acquisition purchases on https://t.co/yNOjPY80jI

The decline of all those silly Snapchat $SNAP filters directly coincided with a makeup boom. https://t.co/usv4S6goRA

Is the $AAPL iPhone 16/Plus's camera meaningfully better than the 15/Plus? 14/Plus? I'm sensing the 48MP camera meaningfully reveals more facial flaws on default and custom settings. This matters for cosmetics equities $ELF $ULTA more than anything btw. Will pay for hard data.

JCal @Jason, There is more due diligence in this video than in anything you've ever done. You've promoted Mr. Exits/"Zach White" multiple times for his defense investing prowess even though his defense fund is fake and he is not a US citizen as he's claimed. 🇺🇸🦅
