Pierre Omidyar founded Intercept with Glenn Greenwald, Snowden pal
About The Intercept:
After NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden came forward with revelations of mass surveillance in 2013, journalists Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, and Jeremy Scahill decided to found a new media organization dedicated to the kind of reporting those disclosures required: fearless, adversarial journalism. They called it The Intercept.

IIRC Snowden dead man switches were given to Greenwald. Clown operation from the get go.
