Your first line is a very uncharitable way of discussing the issue at hand. Reid Hoffman supported a group who he probably did not think was going to use Republican-style disinformation tactics, they did, he found out through reporting, and he stopped. How many businesses do you shop at / organizations do you support that potentially do underhanded things that you aren't tracking because you are busy living your life? I'd guarantee there's at least one doing something ridiculous you are supporting with no knowledge, but because you (or I, or anyone common) aren't among the top 100 richest people in the United States, no one cares what we're up to.
