Anonymous Commodore's NBA Bid
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about meeting a mysterious crypto leader who maintained complete anonymity even among the event attendees.
"Ben levy invited this guy whose twitter handle is Commodore. He's famous because he started a DAO and he's trying to buy an NBA team - he's raised tens of millions of dollars to do it. I started talking to this guy about all types of stuff and I go 'What's your name by the way?' and he goes 'Commodore.'
I go 'Oh that's a sick name, why'd your parents name you Commodore?' He goes 'Oh that's not my real name, I'm anonymous this weekend.' He explained it was to avoid legal implications. I asked if anyone here knew who he was and he said 'No, no one here knows my real name. Ben levy, the guy who invited me, has no idea who I am or my name.'
We talked about family, his wife and children, where he lived. I asked what he did before this and he was like 'Oh I was doing this this and this' and I was like 'What was it called?' He goes 'Oh I can't tell you, I'll dox myself.'
I asked if I could take a picture of him and reverse search it, he goes 'You can but you won't.' And he was right - I didn't."
