“In the meantime, founders and early investors commonly sell off pieces of their ownership, not just to get cash for themselves but to expand the pool of investors backing the company. That does not mean that Vivek or other entrepreneurs are frauds.”

That is true—but it does raise the possibility of money laundering or other dubious activities—and in many cases there is fraud happening.

The details matter—and I think it is reasonable to suggest there is a red flag there.

I support Trump, not Vivek, but I see no “red flag” in Vivek’s finances. Putting on my old opposition research cap, my instinct and judgment as to Vivek is that he is smart, lucky, and ambitious but not a crook. And if you see a red flag or clues to the contrary in his finances, please point them out on the specifics.
