It's not in the tech circle news, but this murder happened literally days after Hindenburg Research released a very long article on money laundering and widespread fraud at Block (CashApp's parent company). Apparently the app is widely used to launder drug money.

Not saying that's related, but you would have to investigate that angle in a murder.

Wow that article is very detailed and there is tons of exploitative practices

Hindenburg has an incredible track record. Every time they release a report, it’s a major news event in the financial world. If they write about your business, you can easily expect the stock to drop 10-25%. Their last report on Adani caused the stock to drop nearly 60%.

Honestly they’re doing the job regulators should be doing.

And the way he said he came to bury Caesar instead of praise him? But he didn't even bring a shovel...

Deliberate bullshit, knowing the context of that speech and how he follows it.

He supposedly left SF because it was unsafe and people assumed he meant “those people”.
