The record
The AI company at the center of the influence map: founded by ex-EDD Secretary Alicia Keyes, written into ~$1.48M of NMED work without a bid at Secretary Kenney's direction, ingesting — by its own description — every public document NMED has ever filed, promoted in an official-looking video that later vanished, seeded with $5.55M the week the Jupiter ruling was due, with the state's own investment fund 'probably' holding indirect exposure.
