Where's the source of the information that Thiel was actually in Saudi Arabia when the Valleywag article was published? I searched, and all I see is unsourced assertions in the comments sections of articles. The only mention of Saudi Arabia in connection with the story that I can find in actual articles rather than comments is the assertion that Thiel was pissed off about being outed because it made it harder for him to secure funding from Saudia Arabian sources.
