    Didn’t Thiel set up in another country anyway?

    Why doesn’t he just fuck off to Argentina?

    Oh right, this is the fucking asshole that destroyed Gawker media because he was outed as a gay man.

      It’s safer for him to plunder us from afar. They preach nationalism when this country is nothing but a honey pot for them, as is for the capital class worldwide.

      He purchased citizenship in New Zealand. Please take him back. Please ?

        Oh, he’s back to NZ now? I thought he moved to Argentina earlier this year, or at least he moved his family. For some reason I thought he pulled out of the bunker-in-NZ thing a while back.

          Sorry, that was a terrible post…now edited. He bribed the DIA to give him NZ citizenship back in 2011 and then tried to build a multimillion dollar bunker in wanaka, but the council refused building consent and he abandoned the idea. Unfortunately he still holds citizenship and can come here at any time, which is the point I poorly made above.

          A quick search reveals he did indeed move both himself and his family to Buenos Aires, earlier this year.

            Oh, I love that. I guess in some places, people still have the right to tell someone like Thiel to fuck off.

              The reason the council gave was that his plans would spoil the view for others.

              Imagine that…the needs of the many winning over that of one billionaire
