I'm surprised at how many Theil defenders there are in the ycombinator chat. We don't have to defend every VC bro just because we are on ycombinator...

Also, this is a pattern with the US law enforcement agencies for decades. If you read this article on Hank Asher you will probably get what I'm talking about: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/22/magazine/hank-asher-data....

I think it is concerning when law enforcement develops close, symbiotic relationships with wealthy business figures who have shady pasts. This can easily lead to conflicts of interest, lack of oversight, and preferential treatment.

And for those "libertarian" folk in the discussion, why do you care about Peter Theil so much? Why go to the chat section and defend him so ardently?
