To understand why Mark Zuckerberg thinks “the metaverse” is the next frontier, consider the case of Sam Peurifoy. The 27-year-old chemistry PhD from Columbia University left his job at Goldman Sachs at the height of the pandemic and is now seeking out his fortune in crypto by playing video games.
He has recruited dozens of people from Mexico to the Philippines to a “Guild” that plays under the command of “Captain” Peurifoy. In exchange, he ponies up the funds needed to enter Axie Infinity, a game where players collect Smooth Love Potion — a digital token that can potentially be converted into real money. | |

For the past decade, luxury rental housing built in San Francisco has targeted the young: engineers and startup entrepreneurs who made the city a global center for tech-driven wealth.
But that may be changing. The city’s next luxury housing project — with two-bedroom units starting at $16,600 and topping out at $27,000 a month — is aimed not at 30-somethings with IPO riches but rather wealthy seniors old enough to be their grandparents. | |

A QAnon influencer who accuses Democratic Party politicians of being pedophiles has been identified in two reports as a registered child sex offender. David Todeschini, 70, goes by the name of “David Trent” online where his thousands of fans listen to him opine on any number of conspiracy theories related to the broader QAnon movement.
“Why this country hasn’t risen up and hung these bastards by now is beyond me,” Todeschini said in a September video complaining about federal vaccine mandates. “These treasonous rat bastards need to be taken out of Washington, D.C. I say get all the children out and nuke it.”
According to RightWingWatch, a project of People for the American Way, the title of that video describes President Joe Biden as a “Cho-mo,” which, the outlet says, is “prison slang for a pedophile.” RightWingWatch first reported that David Todeschini was the real name behind the pseudonym David Trent.
. . .
On May 19, 1999, the QAnon adherent and influencer was convicted of one count each of sexual abuse in the first degree and sodomy in the second degree for coercing an 8-year-old boy into sexual activity in 1996. He was given a sentence of 28 months to seven years in state prison. The convicted child molester ultimately served a five-year sentence. Todeschini had no known prior relationship with his victim. | |
