The self-described "eccentric millionaire," known for a strange run-in with authorities in Belize three years ago, said his primary motivation to enter the race was the government's problems with security and surveillance.
"We are losing privacy at an alarming rate — we have none left. We've given up so much for the illusion of security and our government is simply dysfunctional," he said, adding that he plans to release an explainer for his new Cyber Party.

the same reason Hillary is, not that they think they can actually win, but leverage their name recognition to collect some money and give the rest to the candidate they actually want to win.
Dude, Clinton is the front-runner. She announced before any one else in her party and it is her second run at the office. Her margin has narrowed because she's bungled the email stuff, but man if that's your analysis of Clinton I have to doubt anything you might say about politics.
