    I’ve read through this post. Some keypoints.

    • FUTO donated to projects without using those’s project institutional sponsor guideline.
    • Most of the projects didn’t know that they were sponsored by FUTO, but FUTO still showcased them as members in their grant program unathorized
    • They harassed and spread misinformation about GrapheneOS, because linking their project with this shady donation is unathorized(which GrapheneOS pointed out)
    • FUTO’s founder (not Louis) has an associate, named Yarvin who supports slavery, thinks black people inherently have lower IQ due to genetics, didn’t seem to be weirded out when JD Vance called him a “reactionary fascist”
    • Louis made a “debate” with Yarvin where he yapped about his interesting beliefs. Louis only went really against his beliefs in the comment section, so maybe he was forced to make this interview?

    The article was made by Drew Devault. Apparently he had some drama before, but the article seemed legit to me ngl.
