Drudge sold out to the Chinese a couple of years ago. He stays on as a figurehead.
Drudge didn’t sell the site.
I’m not (yet) convinced he sold to the Chinese, but he did sell the site, along with his aging father’s reference desk site. He’s just not at liberty to say anything due to a nondisclosure agreement. How long do NDAs last? I’d love to hear what he has to say once the NDA has expired . . .
