I think you’re getting downvoted because there’s no mention of Peter Thiel in the article, you brought him up for unrelated reasons.

  Sure, granted. On that point though, it’s also well-known that he bought a vanity New Zealand passport for the very reasons laid out in the article.

    The reasons laid out in the article have nothing to do with vanity, so which is it?

    "bought a vanity passport"? I've never heard that; my understanding is that he got a passport via the investment route, probably as a hedge in case he doesn't want to live in US any more, or because he likes NZ. What even is a "vanity passport"? Sealand maybe?
