At multiple levels. So essentially he had a wide range of contracts that had tax benefits and triggers and business partners, including banks. They tried to shut down those partnerships. Then they tried to shut down the hotel project that he was working with them on. And they tried to stick him with the whole bill.

And the long and short of it is that the net effect of them excluding him from the financial process that was a critical component of those tax-funded, bank-financed real estate projects is that he went from being worth a lot of money to being at risk of bankruptcy. All because they didn't like his political viewpoints.

And in fact, what Mark Anderson told Joe Rogan is that a bunch of people in the tech space like the people in the crypto space. The Winklevoss twins have been very vocal about this. Others have been targeted by the Biden administration for various forms of political harassment and retaliation. Maybe it's an SEC. Elon Musk has been subject to this all over the place. Maybe it's an SEC inquiry.

Maybe it's an EEOC inquiry. Maybe it's an IRS inquiry. But the IRS is the best one because they have the greatest power of all of them. And that's why they're using the IRS to go after people like Roger Ver.

They want something that will intimidate and shut up critics and dissidents from preventing this rollout of a central bank digital currency for which an independent Bitcoin is the best independent challenge to that central bank digital currency power.

And Andreessen has done a great job of raising awareness about things that a lot of people, including myself, not aware of. His reading list, I go to constantly. And if he reads it, I try to read it. But this conversation, and by the way, this conversation leads me to believe that we have an administration that does not like freedom. Freedom is being, as you say, choked on every front.
