Stephen Curry’s venture firm, Penny Jar Capital, is under fire for investing millions in Zafran Security and Upwind, cybersecurity startups founded by veterans of elite ‘Israeli’ military intelligence units like Unit 8200.

Critics argue these investments—totaling hundreds of millions in funding rounds—conflict with Curry’s role as an NBA social justice champion, accusing the firms of supporting a "digital architecture" used in military surveillance and actions in Gaza.

If a person gave a company money to invest for their retirement they can look into the investment company itself but its unreasonable for them to look into every company they invest in. Normal people generally don't have time to check new investments that company makes everyday. Once an individual is made aware of their money being invested into immoral companies then its their responsible to act.

Penny Jar is an early-stage VC firm anchored by Stephen Curry

That's a quote from their website, see the difference? Steph didn't just give someone money to invest and they did something without his knowledge.
