@vfulco Medallion is germane now for a reason the article doesn't mention:

Robert Mercer is the primary benefactor behind Breitbart. He was the number three donor to conservative causes this election cycle (behind Sheldon Adelson and Paul Singer).

The money coming out of Medallion helped put Trump in 1600.

thanks for pointing this out! any idea why ultra rich would want alt-right to succeed? isn't alt-right kind of about de-stabilizing the system which could screw with their money?
