Quoted post unavailable.

Terraform Labs was based in Seoul. The name of the company was not "Terraluna".

I'm uncertain what Silicon Valley has to do with Terraform Labs, WeWork, nor Gravity Payments given that neither of these companies were based in the valley.

If you are attempting to make a jab at Silicon Valley, it doesn't seem to be landing.

I'm thinking that he wouldn't have been allowed to become successful unless there was dirt on him.

It's the sad reality nowadays that the only people who can speak for the average person and for what's right are compromised in some way... They have to be compromised in order to be allowed to get that kind of reach.

Still, the accusations against him sound kind of hand-wavy... The 'waterboarding' thing sounds bad but if consent was given and it was done out of curiosity or thrill-seeking then there is no crime there.

Who's "allowing" success, I'd like to make an appointment?

Alternatively, psychopaths who are good at pandering on social media and attracting a lot of attention from gullible people, are also likely to do messed up things in their private life.

It doesn't have to be some kind of conspiracy, I don't know who you think is doing the "allowing to become successful" here.

Forget about the power and just ask for some compromising situations.
