Summary
A whistleblower is dead, and it is making heads turn to look at top tech bros.Sam Altman, the new pal of President Donald Trump, is facing a campaign from the mother of former employee Suchir Balaji, who was found dead in his San Francisco apartment after his New York Times interview on OpenAI using copyrighted data. RadarOnline.com reported an exclusive piece, Balaji's mother, Poornima Ramararo, suggested the evidence they have shows a different story. She characterized her son as a "happy-go-lucky engineer." Renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Ronald Graeser saw two major indicators that flagged the likelihood of foul play. First, there were massive levels of GHB in his system. GHB is known as the date-rape drug because it significantly incapacitates the individual. Incapacitated people don't generally shoot themselves. They're incapacitated. Still, the medical examiner brushed it off as "self-induced."There's one main forensic inconsistency: the blood-splatter pattern is an angle consistent with a shooter standing over the victim. The family also pointed out other concerns about minor injuries that weren't included in the medical examiner's conclusions. "I don't think it's a suicide – and that leaves deliberate homicide or murder," Graeser said.Then there's the scene itself. The wires to his security camera were cut. There was blood in two rooms, a random wig left in the room, and Balaji ordered DoorDash before allegedly committing suicide, which seems inconsistent with those who are distraught. Meanwhile, Altman told Tucker Carlson, "It looks like a suicide to me."Carlson disagreed, "No, he was definitely murdered."Altman foe Elon Musk told Joe Rogan, "All signs point to it being a murder."According to Musk, Altman stole trade secrets from his own AI company xAI and he thinks Altman was involved in Malaji's death, the report said. Malaji's mother agrees, saying her son was marked for death by a "team of assassins" after he blew the whistle on Altman's business.
