Minneapolis venture capitalist loses office lease after viral video accuses him of racial profiling
A Minneapolis venture capitalist's office lease has been terminated after a video went viral showing him asking a group of black entrepreneurs if they were tenants of the building and thus allowed to use its gym.
In the video posted Tuesday night, Tom Austin, who is white, said he was going to call 911 on the group. (He ended up calling the building's property manager instead.)
On Wednesday afternoon, Austin said he messed up and confirmed that he had lost the lease for his company, F2 Group, at the MoZaic East building in Uptown. The office building is owned by the Ackerberg Group.
"Should have handled it differently," he said in an e-mail. "Not my job to have done anything."
here he is harassing the black tenants:
