Last year I met with a source to learn more about how the alt-right was financed. What they explained was a shell game wherein Peter Theil would take a meeting and then later Jeff Giesea would work with them to set up an LLC "production company" that would receive Theil capital.

The source described to me how recipients ranging from alt-light "mens right advocate" Mike @Cernovich, to the neo-nazi troll "Weev" benefited from this financial structuring routing money from Peter Theil's "Theil Capital" by way of @jeffgiesea into the specifically formed LLC.

According to the source another bizarre benefactor in Peter Theil's shell game was Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz, who once served as a co-producer of one of Mike @Cernovich's propaganda films. According to the source once again in this case @JeffGiesea cut the checks for Theil.

I did not publish this info because I never had receipts to back up what the source was telling me. Today, @RosieGray and @RMac18 produced a laundry list of damning receipts that put Peter Theil at the table of an ambitious Nazi "Right Wing Dinner Squad" buzzfeednews.com/article/rosieg…

What'd I say... ?

Resurrecting this thread b/c it looks like Thiel is leaving is board position at Meta to focus on "fundraising for political candidates." (see above👆🏽)
