Good Guy Gets Rewarded

Daniel Penny,  who was prosecuted for restraining a scary mentally ill guy in a New York subway, was found innocent but as the saying goes,  "The process is the punishment."  After all the crap the N.Y. DA out him through, someone is rewarding him.   2/5/25 Fortune:
"Famed Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz has a new deal partner: Daniel Penny, the former Marine who was acquitted on a charge of criminally negligent homicide in December after fatally choking another passenger on a New York City subway.

"The a16z team Penny was hired to join is called “American Dynamism,” which, per the company website, invests in those that support American interests: aerospace, defense, public safety, education, housing, supply chain, industrials, and manufacturing. A photo of Penny appears in its “Team” gallery."

To be honest,  it sounds more like a sinecure than a job, but he may do something with this opportunity.  At least he will have a good job for a year or two.   Saving up his money from a likely six-figure job for a year or two should take some of the pain away from being a victim of Bragg’s absurd prosecution.
