zfasel
Name: Zack Fasel
Handle: zfasel
Bio: After being abandoned behind a Blockbuster Video at the age of 7, Zack found the only way to survive the mean streets of Atherton, California was to start a crime syndicate under the name Satoshi Nakomoto. At the age of 12, he sold his first company, CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet, a solution to Y2K, to Gill Bates for an undisclosed sum. He went on to start Heonar Holdings, a multinational diversified holdings company focusing on underdeveloped industries.
Currently, he serves on the boards of Raviga Capital, Spartan Ives, and Kaan & Associates. He also holds the honorary role of Lead Janitor for The Urbane Collective. In his free time, Zack can be found drinking all the wines, hacking all the things, and generally being extra.
You can find him on OnlyFans (link in my bio!), where his subscribers fulfill their niche kink of SapioDom by undergoing hyper critical code reviews and being told their opinionated choices are wrong. Subscribe free for 30 days (no credit card required).
