Time to Come Clean - Part 2

Click on image above to clarify.

Yesterday, we called on the anonymous complainer who filed a complaint about a 2018 post on this blog that reproduced a news article about the operations of the office of the UC chief investment officer (CIO) to reveal himself/herself/themselves and apologize. The complaint that was filed indicated that there was a violation of Blogger standards (which, as you might expect, mainly have to do with pornography and such). It meant that anyone who wanted to read that posting had to first read a warning and agree to see the posting despite it. We went back to the post and added language saying that the complaint was invalid, and also requested a review by Blogger. As you can see from the email above, the meritless complaint has been now been voided, after the review.

We continue to wonder whether the anonymous complainer was in fact reacting to our more recent posts dealing with the CIO's investment of $4.5 billion in the Blackstone-BREIT, essentially bailing out that fund which was experiencing a run on the bank. We also criticized the Regents' Investment Committee members for not asking questions about the financial and legal issues raised by that investment and instead focusing only on landlord-tenant relations in buildings owned by the BREIT.
