David Sacks denies reports of conflicts of interest during his tenure as White House AI and cryptocurrency chief

ChainCatcher news, David Sacks, the United States' "czar" for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency affairs, posted on X that five months ago, The New York Times sent reporters to fabricate a story about alleged conflicts of interest during his tenure as the White House Special Envoy for Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency Affairs, making a series of accusations that he has refuted in detail.

These accusations included fabricating stories about him dining with tech company CEOs, falsely promising access to the President, and groundlessly claiming he influenced defense contracts. Sacks stated that every time he refuted an accusation, The New York Times would bring up new ones, causing the report to be delayed for five months. Now, the published article contains no substantive content and is filled with anecdotes unrelated to the topic. Given The New York Times' clear lack of intention to write a fair report, he has hired a law firm and made public the firm's letter to The New York Times.
