>Let's look at the sh he dumped on retail with his abysmal SPAC track record
I do not see why one would feel animosity towards Chamath for this reason. Was there fraud involved? Otherwise, all investors are liable for doing their own due diligence.

Part of it is the irrational feeling of a disgruntled investor, doubt that I'm alone.
The other part is he has a track record of dumping on retail then telling them not to buy his next deal once he's already cashed out.
You can feel animosity towards someone without thinking they've met the elements of a crime.
Do you need someone to commit a crime to hate them?
Do you still need them to commit a crime when they are rich and powerful, and connected with the current administration that sets the law?
If a new law came out that said Chamath can do whatever he wants and it’s always legal, is it impossible to hate him in your worldview?
Nobody in finance holds a high opinion of Chamath.
