NEW -- A source tells me a group of NY donors have committed $2M to HMP, the House Dem super PAC, to help the Dems who came out early against/criticizing Biden -- Angie Craig, Marie Glusenkamp Perez, Jared Golden and Pat Ryan

Donors include
@novogratz, Nancy and Andrew Jarecki, Gideon and Zoe Stein and 30+ other donors.

[tazkcmo]

1. I suspect they'll need it. nt

[BComplex]

2. So they're REWARDING the dems who want Biden to step down?

Did I read that right?

[LeftInTX]

10. Sounds more like a bribe....OK..I better keep my mouth shut

OK...It's a gratuity according to the SCOTUS...

[haele]

15. No, it's a gratuity for a good performance...

That is, if it's something that's actually going on.

[yorkster]

32. Just like the Supreme Court said - wait 'til

after the deed is done and all is good..

Blecchh...

[LeftInTX]

34. Then, I'm good to go with my comment. I added that it's a gratuity.

I'm pretty sure it's real. That Novogratz guy is a huge megadonor. He seems like a real jerk.

[regnaD kciN]

27. Exactly...

There are a bunch of NY multi-millionaires who want Joe out.

Just like the LA celebrities.

The irony is that, even if they get their way (or especially if they get their way), they will still be vilified by Republicans as the “coastal elites” who are “enemies of working Americans”…and any candidate picked to replace Biden will be considered their tool.

[LisaL]

3. That explains a lot.

4. Ooh, aahh, a "source" said that, whoa boy.

That's coming from "a source", it must be true.

[LeftInTX]

11. I have a real source: Michael Novogratz a bitcoin CEO.

https://twitter.com/novogratz


















https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Novogratz

Novogratz is the CEO of Galaxy Investment Partners, a cryptocurrency investment firm.[14] Originally scheduled to start his Galaxy Digital Assets Fund on December 15, 2017, he shelved plans because he "didn't like market conditions."[15]

Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. is one of the few cryptocurrency companies required to publish financial results. In the first nine months of 2018, the company lost $136 million in cryptocurrency trading.[16] In 2017, Galaxy Digital contributed to an $80 million funding round for technology company Bitfury.[17]

Galaxy losses widened to 554 million in Q2 of 2022 following a 182 million dollar loss for the past year.[18]

He stated in 2017 that 20% of his net worth was in Bitcoin and Ethereum. He says he made $250 million from crypto currency from 2016-2017.[19] At a 2022 cryptocurrency conference, Novogratz boasted that he was "only guy in the world that’s got both a Bitcoin tattoo and a Luna tattoo".[20] A few weeks later, UST(the algorithmic Terra Luna stable coin), which claimed that it was pegged to the US Dollar, lost nearly all of its value.[20]

[Think. Again.]

17. Um, bitcoin. Really.

[Doc Sportello]

19. Oh, so he's an asshole

Looks like an asshole, talks and acts like an asshole. And a bitcoin guy. Yep, he's an asshole.

[jmbar2]

28. Great Post!

Wow. This explains so much. Dems on the take to tank Biden.

[Irish_Dem]

5. It's not a bribe, just a "reward."

[unc70]

6. Have to take them off my holiday card list

[LeftInTX]

7. Who on earth is this guy? He seems like a real disruptor. Throwing money to get Biden off the ballot!

People are falling for this???? He doesn't like Kamala either.

And to add insult to injury:

[Deminpenn]

8. Jarecki runs a company called Bettybeauty.com

Hubby founded Moviefone and for documentary The Jinx.

[LeftInTX]

24. Here is Andrew and Nancy Jarecki's donation history

Compared to other high-end donors, they wouldn't be considered "high-end". A local attorney, that I'm familiar with, donates more.
That doesn't mean they suddenly didn't got motivated to get involved with ousting Biden.

It is kinda weird because their motivation seems to come out of nowhere.

Sure it's nice to have contributions. But at what price!!! This guy isn't a Democrat!!! He's just giving out money. (Bribing) He doesn't care about those Democrats in Congress....

[Deminpenn]

12. He doesn't sound like an especially good

businessman either.

He also was at Fortress Investment Group, a private equity fund.

[LeftInTX]

13. I don't know much about finance. But he sounds like trouble if funding Dems in order to stage a coup.

I think he's a libertarian who supports RFK Jr. But probably will be more than happy with Trump.

14. Probably, most of the techies, crypto guys

are libertarians.

21. This guy has long history of donating to Democrats, with the exception of recent donations to Tom Emmer (R) MN

He also donated to Dean Phillips...

However, the $550,000 he invested on this PAC was never spent.



He was also an investor in "Defeat by Tweet" to defeat Trump in 2020

20. Mike Novogratz is fundraising for Ted Cruz

Instead of our Democratic candidate Colin Allred.

Perhaps Mr Novogratz is a wee bit against black people, just an observation!

[LeftInTX]

22. He has a long history of supporting Democrats and found Democratic Pacs...At least that's what's on Open Secrets

He only recently donated to Tom Emmer(R) and Dean Phillips...
Tom Emmer appears to be the only Republican he donated to.

He may have switched parties since 2023.

He may have started donating Cruz recently.
Open Secrets is only current through 2023.

23. It looks like he met with Ted Cruz on June 19th at Novogratz's resident.

It doesn't say how much he pledged or if he pledged etc.

https://capitol.press/p/donorgate

[MagickMuffin]

30. I'm surprised Mike would meet with Ted

Especially since Mike appears to be more aligned with democratic causes. However, Mike backstabbing our president and paying sitting Congress people to do his bidding is a cowardice move in my book.

[LeftInTX]

33. He seems like a jerk. He runs a big crypto company, so I'm pretty sure the was meeting about Ted's stance on crypto.

He may have donated after meeting with him.

Either way, he seems like a jerk.

[Deminpenn]

16. Gideon Stein runs a company caled

Write Label described as a crowd sourced platform for short term writing. He was also a board member at a big charter school company in NYC.

[LeftInTX]

25. Here is Gideon Stein. I can't find much on Zoe. Don't even know it's the same Zoe Stein.

Either way, all the Zoe Steins in open secrets have donated no more than what a middle class donor would donate. So I don't know if it's the same Zoe Stein.
None of the Zoe Steins are at the same address as Gideon.

Her husband likely does most of the donating.

something called Movement Labs which claims to be dedicated to running Dem candidates in every local race and building progressive power.

[LeftInTX]

31. The one associated with Movement Labs is not Gideon Stein's wife. His wife is also Zoe, but she spells it Zoey

The one associated with Movement Labs is only 31 years old, whereas Gideon's wife is almost 50 (I have a background check program). She has only donated a little bit.

Here is the donation history for Zoey Stein, who lives in NYC (who is likely Gideon's wife)
