Aaron Rodgers has been a long-time critic, discussing social matters on media platforms and often engaging in back-and-forth with his followers. Recently, he took a jab at US Senator, Dianne Feinstein, over unusual stock trades in the last couple of years. These dealings have been the subject of national attention for the last couple of days. To take this conversation forward, his best man, David Bakhtiari, also joined the veteran and blasted the senator for allegedly “cheating” in broad daylight.

Diane Feinstein’s return to the Senate invited lots of criticism, especially for her account books, which looked quite abnormal. Over the last 30 years of her professional career, the 89-year-old has amassed a massive wealth of $200 million. It was never incremental growth, instead, her stock trade pivoted to an exponential rise in her fortune. This raised many eyebrows, and analysts started digging deep to find out the turning point of her career.
Aaron Rodgers and David Bakhtiari slam the Senator
While everyone welcomed Feinstein back into the Senate, the trade analysts at the Unusual Whales reportedly exposed her secret to the top. They found out about her unprecedented growth to $200 million as a result of a series of trades carried out in advance before the news broke to the public. Her late husband, Richard Blum, took care of the accounts and executed the deals. The Unusual Whales’ Twitter handle released a long thread detailing the entire timeline.
According to their reports, Blum sold millions in Allogene Therapeutics stock before it collapsed in 2020, and a similar trend was seen in 2009 when he purchased shares worth $1 million in a biotechnological company that received a government contract. Even before the news became public, they bought the stock and earned huge profits.
The couple was caught under the radar of the Justice Department and had to face a probe. But nothing significant came out in this regard, and she didn’t pay a single penny to acquit herself. Looking at the recent revelations, Packers’ offensive tackle David Bakhtiari lashed out at the senator on social media.
“How are we as a nation just ‘cool’ with actions like this? It’s cheating in broad daylight,” he wrote on Twitter. In a couple of hours, his former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, who is known for loving controversies, sent a cryptic gif of Ryan Reynolds tagging Bakhtiari on Twitter.
A-Rod owns a venture capital firm
Aaron Rodgers has a net worth of $200 million after playing for 18 seasons in the league. He invested a major chunk of this wealth in various companies and co-founded a firm, RX3, along with Nate Raabe and Byron Roth. Recently, they raised $150 million in their second round of capital investments from celebrities and prominent athletes.
They focus on consumer-based equity funds and aid small businesses and start-ups that have potential for growth in the future. “This close of RX3’s second fund marks a new opportunity to support the next generation of leading consumer brands through differentiated capital,” Rodgers said in an email, per Yahoo Sports. It will be interesting to see how much success he reaps from this venture in the coming years.
