It was the perfect hunting ground for a Kremlin operative looking to get his hooks into Peter Thiel, one of the most powerful men in Silicon Valley: an extravagant birthday party with hundreds of guests, held at Schloss Neuwaldegg, a 17th-century palace in the suburbs of Vienna.
He was on the board at Facebook (now Meta) and had been an early investor in prominent US defense startups including SpaceX and Anduril — access that could give the Kremlin a powerful vantage into US security networks and Silicon Valley.
“Money Men” by Dan McCrum, a book about the Wirecard scandal, calls Angermayer “a business wunderkind with a mixed record and a very successful knack for attaching himself to voguey trends.”
A program for a private forum that Angermayer organized in 2020 on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference promised attendees face time with John Kerry, the heads of several Eastern European and Baltic countries, and the foreign ministers of Belarus and Iran.
A Twitter account run by the State Department posted a picture of his presentation, with Grenell standing in front of the logo of Apeiron Investment Group, Angermayer’s Malta-domiciled family office.
After Trump won the presidential election in November 2016, Angermayer sent an analysis to business partners and friends in which he wrote: “Better relations with Russia and less intervention globally will definitely make the world a more peaceful place.”
