The Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party, as well as an array of other sort of extreme, you know, literal hate groups.

And, you know, and funding them, and not just funding them, not just like funneling money in, but like funneling money to very senior members or leaders of these organizations.

The a16z Show

And then the kicker is, among the allegations,

The a16z Show

is as they were directly funding one of the leaders of the January 6th, whatever you want to call it, riot at the Capitol.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Oh, sorry.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

No, I'm going to, let me back up.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

We need to clip that.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

I can't remember if that was the one, but for sure what I meant to say was the Charlottesville riot.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

So the Charlottesville riot in 2017 that played such a central role, you know, in our politics at the time, you know, the kind of the famous, they're good people on both sides, you know, kind of thing.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

you know, which was like one of the big crises of kind of that era.

And apparently they were also paying for transport for rioters to go to the Capitol.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Yeah.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Right.

The a16z Show

And so, like, if this is true, you know, yeah, I mean, if this is if this, you know, what could you conclude if this is true?

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Well, number one is like the allegation is they broke the law doing that.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

There's additional allegations in the DOJ indictment that they committed various kinds of money laundering crimes, you know, other other other kinds of crimes.

The a16z Show

And so that, you know, that, you know, that's a big deal.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And then and then I've been I've been asking the obvious question, which is if any of these claims are true, what did their donors know?

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And, you know, were the donors all totally oblivious to this or did the donors, you know, work closely with them?
