    Hol’ up….

    Ignoring all the other crazy:

    In a written statement to Insider, Johnson said he was stepping forward as a CHS to support Buma’s effort as a whistleblower to bring about what Buma believes to be necessary reforms in how the FBI handles informants. Johnson said that he was exposing Thiel’s work as a CHS as retribution for what Johnson perceives to be bad decision-making by the Founders Fund, Thiel’s venture-capital firm.

    Johnson also told Insider he felt betrayed that Thiel did not invest in Johnson’s own startups, which he had expected Thiel to do in exchange for introducing him to Buma.

    You can just “out” an FBI informant because you think he didn’t return a favor? Is that legal?

    They’re both trash.
