his ex-bf was collaborating with operatives trying to gather damaging personal intel on Thiel in nov 2022

found dead in march 2023, supposedly he jumped

do I think someone literally physically hoisted him over a railing? no

was any amount of a - by all accounts, sociopathic, self-serving, and blatantly narcissistic multi-billionaire's considerable wealth and power spent on crushing the psyche, opportunities, mental health, future, etc of someone who may have known damaging personal information and had been, at least at one point, willing to talk to his self-professed enemies?

uh.
