Bloomberg article is better, but note they also ran that I said was spy for the British government when I worked in counter extremism work including writing in this topic for Reuters, Wall Street Journal and others.

These are details we gave them and they chose not to run.

In addition they ran reporting that we raised less than $25 million of additional funding when we raised well over that when we said that was false based on sources again.

We had to take it legal and right up to lead editor.

To be clear: we never raised less than $25m of additional funding.

Here are some examples of the work that I actually did in public that they chose to run as I said I was a spy

Here is me predicting ISIS as they would later be known would likely topple Western Iraq the following summer in December of 2013, top of business insiders chart of the year (which I think is very interesting)

You didn’t predict anything. This was a well shared idea back then. Stop trying to act like you were a god tier extremism researcher. It’s irrelevant.

You'll be suing Forbes for libel then, right?
