More likely a double agent.
He’ll inform only when it suits his own ends, and never out of a sense of justice or patriotism, or a want of walking around money.
Absolutely. Just like the guy who reported him being an informant, who did it because Thiel didn’t invest in his startups.
Don’t romanticize him choosing to be a snitch… He wasn’t even a single agent working for the FBI!
I wasn’t trying to romanticise him, rather I was suggesting that he’d be trying to play the FBI in some way or another.
I get what you’re saying, but he can’t “play” the FBI because he was never an agent. Information flows one way: he informs them, and they pay him. I just want to make that clear for others…
