So if you work in the media and can get a young recruiter like this talking to you you can get them to say things like "we're huge, the world situation is good for us and we basically rule the world". Those are things naive recruiters will say to get you to sign up for the role.
Anyway lazy journalism. I don't care for blackrock but really meh. Don't corner some low level recruiter for gossip like this please.
Let's see how long this post lasts on HN.
EDIT: In 9 minutes already flagged. Looks like the truth does hurt many here on HN because they 'don't like' where the source came from.
Edit: The original article linked here also doesn't really offer much but vague conjecture from this guy. No specifics, just conjecture that most of us could throw out regarding how "the system" works. Feel free to downvote me, but I'd love to know why I'm wrong, why we should actually believe O'Keefe this time after he has been demonstrably false time and again, and what actual substance this article has beyond vague conjecture. I'm happy to be wrong.
