Former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has quickly found new work as a senior vice president for the blockchain investment firm Artillery One. Zinke, who in the past has touted his bachelor’s degree in geology, will be making his first appearance for the firm at a cryptocurrency conference in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Described as “the world’s most exclusive investor conference on cryptocurrencies and blockchain investments,” the three-day event beginning on January 16 is held at Suvretta House; the event page says the five-star venue is “like a fairy-tale castle.”
Zinke’s last day as head of the Interior Department was just two weeks ago. He announced his resignation in December amid multiple ethics investigations as well as a Justice Department probe into whether Zinke lied to agency investigators. But as Artillery One’s chief executive Daniel Cannon told ThinkProgress, he does not expect these investigations to impact Zinke’s work for the blockchain investment firm.

Artillery One is listed to a PO Box in North Carolina, has little internet presence and is funded by 10 million shares of unknown value. Zinke duties and compensation are unknown. But at least he’s not continuing to destroy the land of this country...yet.
