Gawker – Today Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer put on a (plaid?) suit and tie and got on CNBC to talk about his plan to form a hedge fund, TRO LLC. The fund, as we’ve told you before, will be devoted to shorting stocks in companies where Auernheimer detects a security breach.
“I am founding this fund because I believe the public has a right [to know], and I have a moral obligation to inform the public… And at the end of the day, it actually is more profitable, there’s better money in it… I’d much rather bring [security breaches] to the public’s attention so consumers can make informed decisions.”
