> What hasn’t been reported, however, is even scarier:
> Exclusive documents obtained by HuffPost reveal that Ton-That, as well as
> several people who have done work for the company, have deep, longstanding ties
> to far-right extremists. Some members of this alt-right cabal went on to work
> for Ton-That.
> Clearview stated that it had immediately parted ways with some of these people

> Big Brother, it turned out, was wearing a MAGA cap.
> A Mysterious HackerLittle is known about Ton-That, a 31-year-old Australian
> hacker who moved to San Francisco in 2007. He made a name for himself two years
> later by unleashing a computer worm that phished the login credentials of Gmail
> users. Ton-That showed no remorse after journalists traced the worm to him— he
> simply set up another phishing site.
> By 2015, he had joined forces with far-right subversives working to install

> propagandist who spearheaded the near-deadly Pizzagate disinformation campaign;
> Andrew “weev” Auernheimer, a neo-Nazi hacker and the webmaster for The Daily

> In this far-right clique, two of Ton-That’s associates loomed larger than most

> alt-right causes, and Charles “Chuck” Johnson, a former Breitbart writer and
> far-right extremist who reportedly coordinated lawfare against media

> Johnson appears to have received funding from Thiel for a startup that the
