George Tenet was the Managing Director of Allen and Co. WHILE HE WAS HEAD OF THE CIA???????? REALLY?? I CAN”T BELIEVE THAT!!!
Try reading the sentence again, not that it's well worded.
Allen and Co. was part of the financing for Google's IPO in 2004. Not that it's like Google succeeded only because Allen subsidized it. In 2004 Google had its pick of companies to work with.
Then in 2008 the retired Tenet went to work for Allen.
What's missing, of course, is anything resembling evidence that Tenet or the CIA had anything whatsoever to do with the Google IPO in 2004. Or that Google needed any such assistance.
Actually, I wish I could believe the CIA was as omniscient and omnipotent as these types of articles portray. In fact, the evidence is they're largely the gang that couldn't shoot straight.
