FARGO (KFGO/KVRR) — An investor known for his role as a judge on the reality show ‘Shark Tank’ has a lot of praise for North Dakota but not so much for Minnesota.
Kevin O’Leary said, on Fox News, North Dakota a gem for investment with good policy and pointed to the dramatic growth in Fargo as compared to Moorhead. O’Leary used the comparison to get across his point that Minnesota has bad policies.
“In Fargo, you’ve got Microsoft’s second largest campus, massive arts, biotech, energy businesses,” O’Leary said. “Go across the river, only 200 yards, you step out and it looks like Cuba. There’s only 30,000 people left in Moorhead. The difference is Minnesota policy [compared to] North Dakota policy.”
O’Leary is an investor in Bitzero which picked North Dakota for its North American headquarters.
Bitzero uses data processing and crypto mining to recapture displaced heat from mining operations to benefit local green initiatives.
