The newsletters based everything off of publicly available information.

By Thursday, the news were already abuzz with SVB being in dire straits and the CEO calling people to tell them their deposits were safe.

It's funny you compare this to the hindsight of a conspiracy theorist when this whole notion that Peter Thiel used secret insider knowledge is by definition a conspiracy theory. I only present the alternative, that there was information publicly available that could have led one to draw this conclusion.

Again, publicly available information (from months ago) resulting in a thesis - not any different than that of any short seller, talking television head, Twitter account, or “newsletter” predicting anything throughout history.

This thesis happened to be proven correct in this instance. Now let’s go talk about the thousands that have been wrong.

I didn’t and don’t support any conspiracy regarding Thiel in any of this. I don’t think that conversation is productive.

What I am saying is the timing is interesting and anyone who thinks the playing field is level with a 25 year SV power player veteran billionaire is delusional.
