I found this to be an interesting article with background on the fund and details of the actual sale that were missing from other conversations on HN I had already read.
It was surprising to see an empty HN comment section before I realized everyone else saw a paywall. It's a shame that conversation will often naturally gravitate towards cheaper articles that just regurgitate information without any research or analysis but don't have a barrier. I think that it makes all the commenters a little more likely to be ignorant. ( I know I would of been )

After reading the article is not as good as others, and maybe this has been discussed plenty already here, therefore the low amount of comments.
