Patrick Byrne Responds to Nick Moseder

Nick Moseder reported in a video this evening that he had uncovered a connection between Konnech and myself. It turns out that he is right, in a "He knows a guy whose cousin dated a girl who knew the sister" kind of way.

Who knew.

Anyway... yes, I knew in 2014 that our election systems were crapola. Yes I invested in a blockchain company (Voatz) to create foolproof voting technology based on blockchain. Later, 2018-2019, someone else at the company made an even smaller investment in the other firm in the field, which turns out to have bought some software a few years earlier from... Konnech.

I could not really have told you the name of that other company (VoteM), into which we made an investment of something like $100k - $200k (I vaguely recall), let alone met anyone there, or known anything about code they had purchased years before I came along. And in any case, I sold all of this three years ago and have nothing to do with anyone there (as Nick acknowledges, honorably).
