Zohran Mamdani PAC’s top donors worked for firm accused of being national security threat with alleged China ties

Two top donors to the super PAC supporting Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign worked for a tech company with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Omer Hasan, who stepped down in February as vice president of operations for Palo Alto, Calif.-based AppLovin according to his LinkedIn page, gave a whopping $250,000 on Sept. 5 to New Yorkers for Lower Costs, a superPAC that backs socialist Mamdani, records show.

Mohammad Javed, AppLovin’s former director of engineering who left the firm in 2021, donated $251,500 to the political action committee. He also gave $2,100 to Mamdani’s campaign committee.

Neither Hasan nor Javed have been accused of any wrongdoing, and it’s unclear why they left the fast-growing Silicon Valley company, which is trying to acquire TikTok’s former China assets.

However, short-selling firm Culper Research issued a February report accusing AppLovin of illicit backdoor app installations that trick users into downloading malicious software, The Street reported.

In June, Culper issued another scathing report, this time alleging AppLovin is both a bad investment and a national security risk because Chinese national Hao Tang controls at least 9.8% of the company.

“Our research reveals Hao Tang has numerous ties to the CCP, money laundering and human trafficking operations,” said the report, referring to China’s ruling communist party.

The allegations against AppLovin don’t stop there.

Sadly, this assumes there will be an impact from this information because they think Mamdani’s supporters can read.
