Not unusual for board seats of investment funds to be unpaid.


I’m a director of some of the funds managed by the firm I work for, and it’s an unpaid position - I get no comp directly as a board member and my comp with the firm did not change when I was appointed. Just part of my job. External directors get maybe 12-15k per year.

It is also not at all unusual or nefarious for investment funds to raise assets from Chinese govt/sovereign entities, which are very active investors in hedge funds and PE funds.

It is beyond pathetic to watch you former crusaders against witch hunts jump all in and become boosters of a tale that Giuliani literally shopped around to news organizations - that’s not even in dispute. That Rudy ran a shadow foreign policy that sometimes acted inconsistently with official admin policy is not disputed. Rudy’s job was to dig up dirt on Biden, and Trump was warned that he was being played by foreign actors (Russia) by Trump’s own intel people.

But none of that raises a moment of doubt in the mind of Hooda, because its all about what we want to be true, not what’s plausible, or supportable, or actually supported, huh?

The $1.5 Bil was merely a fundraising target, not a confirmed amount raised. The story in the WSJ is not very convenient to your scandal hunt, but I’m sure that won’t stop all your dismissive LOLing, as though there are clear inferences to be made from the Rudy witch hunt. There aren’t. Just clearly gullible Trumpies who know full well a scandal of some sort is their only chance.
