The below piece is admittedly somewhat polemic in form. But on a matter of journalistic inquiry: How did the PirateWires piece come about? Did Blake Dodge and Katherine Dee bring this story idea to Solana? Did Solana dream up the story assignment and recruit the two writers of the piece? From my stance, this is a critically-important detail. Given his role at Founders Fund, this isn't just editorial curiosity—it's about whether we're seeing journalism or coordinated attack by certain economic and political interests. Asking on behalf of the public interest.
