They met in off-the-record meetings: There is a name from Turkey in the US billionaire's secret network!

It has emerged that internal records belonging to a closed organization that brings together influential figures from political, technological, financial, and security circles in the US have been leaked online.

According to documents verified by the technology magazine WIRED, participant lists, event schedules, and personal information of some members of the invitation-only network called Dialog have been made accessible online.

Founded in 2006, with technology investor Peter Thiel among its founders, Dialog has been bringing together US politicians, foreign government representatives, Silicon Valley executives, investors, academics, and media members in closed-door annual meetings for nearly twenty years.

The organization had previously chosen not to disclose the identities of its members.

It was stated that the leak occurred as a result of a security vulnerability discovered by the Swiss hacker "maia arson crimew". It was reported that a directory on Dialog's website remained accessible and the information found there was verified by independent sources.

222 REGISTRATIONS FOR THE AUGUST MEETING

Among the leaked documents were records regarding Dialog's 2026 meeting. Accordingly, the event will be held near Dublin, Ireland, between August 12-16.

It was observed that there were a total of 222 people on the registration list, and participants were classified under categories such as “active member” and “guest.” It was noted that the list included 87 first-time attendees, while some names had been attending the meetings for over a decade, and others had been part of the organization since its inception.

The documents also contained information that participants used personal or corporate email accounts instead of official government email addresses.

HIGH-LEVEL NAMES ON THE LIST

The leaked records provided the most comprehensive picture to date of Dialog's participant profile.

The list includes the name of General Alexus Grynkewich, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO and head of the US European Command. Grynkewich, who took office in July 2025, was seen to have been attending Dialog meetings since 2021 according to the records.

The documents also included some officials from the Trump administration, two US senators, figures from the circle known as the “PayPal Mafia” in Silicon Valley, a former Middle Eastern intelligence official, an ambassador serving in the US, and executives of companies operating in the fields of data analytics and advertising technology.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Senatör Ted Cruz, US Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, and senior Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee Jim Himes were shown among the prominent names on the list.

From the technology sector, the names of Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, Dialog President Auren Hoffman, and executives connected to Google/DeepMind drew attention.

While it was stated that Hoffman is the founder of SafeGraph, which works on location data, and LiveRamp, which provides identity matching services, it was expressed that the software of Palantir, of which Lonsdale is a co-founder, is used by US immigration agencies, the Pentagon, and various intelligence units.

THE DEMET MUTLU DETAIL FROM TURKEY

It was seen that there was also a name from Turkey in the participant lists included in the documents.

When the records shared on social media were examined, it was determined that Trendyol founder Demet Mutlu was on the list with the phrase “Demet Mutlu - Founder & CEO, Trendyol Group”. However, representatives of Trendyol's communications agency stated that Demet Mutlu did not attend such an organization and was not part of the closed Dialog network, which US billionaire Peter Thiel is among the founders of.

SESSION TITLES IN THE PROGRAM REVEALED

The leak brought to light not only participant information but also details regarding the meeting program.

Among the sessions planned for the 2026 event, it was seen that there were sessions titled “Does money buy happiness?”, “Bring back nuclear”, “Navigating World War III”, “Battlefield technologies”, and “How is your sex life?”.

The program also included sessions titled “Starting a cult,” to be led by the founder of Pray.com, and “Starting a party,” to be moderated by a former White House national security official.

The documents revealed that artificial intelligence, defense technologies, longevity research, and social scenarios regarding the future were among the important agenda items at the meetings.

It was reported that in the participants' assessments of the future, views were shared that artificial intelligence would soon have an impact on working life, the education system, war technologies, and religious life. Some assessments also included scenarios such as mass unemployment, attacks on data centers, and AI-induced religious movements.

PERSONAL INFORMATION ALSO ACCESSIBLE

It was stated that some sensitive information collected from organization members was also revealed within the scope of the leak.

In the documents, it was seen that participants were asked about their political leanings and were given assurances that this information “would never be shared in the application or with other participants.” However, it was stated that this data was also among the leaked records.

It also emerged that the organization aimed to create a matching system among members. It was reported that participants were asked questions in registration forms about their relationship status and whether they were looking for a new relationship, and various options were offered for this.

It was noted that there is a platform serving under the slogan “meaningful connections for exceptional people” at the address dating.dialog.org, which is affiliated with Dialog.

It was stated that the records were kept on the Airtable infrastructure, and data such as membership status, past event participation, biography information, city of residence, and private access links were stored there.

SECURITY VULNERABILITY IN A NETWORK EMPHASIZING PRIVACY

Among the leaked documents was a guide prepared for organization moderators.

The guide recommends reminding participants that the speeches made at the meetings are “off the record,” keeping sessions short, and conducting content in a way that does not allow for direct attribution.

In the same document, it is suggested to make short introductions to avoid a hierarchical appearance among the senators, ambassadors, billionaires, and company executives attending the meetings.

However, it was stated that the security vulnerability that caused the leak stemmed from a directory located in the website's source code that was accessible to everyone. It was noted that there was no clear warning in the meeting application regarding the limited nature of membership or the invitation requirement.

REFERRED TO AS THE “BILDERBERG OF THE TECH WORLD”

Dialog, which has been known in a limited way for many years, is sometimes compared to the Bilderberg meetings of the technology sector due to its closed structure.

The organization has previously held meetings at venues such as the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain in Arizona and the San Clemente Palace in Venice, Italy. Rules such as assigned seating, moderated sessions, and the requirement that participants do not directly attribute statements to one another are applied at the events.

Dialog has come to the agenda from time to time before. Statistician Andrew Gelman shared the invitation he received in 2022 on his blog, announcing the meeting format and the participation fee exceeding 16 thousand dollars to the public.

The name “Jeff Epstein” in an invitation attachment from 2014 became a subject of debate again years later, but it was explained that the person in question was not Jeffrey Epstein, who is known for child abuse charges, but one of Oracle's former finance executives.
