I'm not a fan, either. And, the thing is, we've seen similar companies pop up out of nowhere that claim to be private, but are just honeypots. The fbi did one once, and there is nothing stopping them from doing it again.

I thought about this a lot, and came to the inevitable conclusion that not naming the angel investor is the same as naming them as a government organization or an organization that makes money from privacy erosion. He didn't say it wasn't any of them, which lends to the conclusion that it is, in fact, one of those organizations.
