elt Venture Partners co-founder Keith Wasserman posted on X in a desperate bid to find private firefighters to protect his home from raging wildfires that have forced the evacuation of over 100,000 people and scorched tens of thousands of acres. His plea read: "Need to act fast here. All neighbors' houses are burning. Will pay any amount." The post was met with swift backlash after it surfaced that Wasserman's firm manages a $1.59 billion portfolio.
