According to the indictment, the pair, who worked on digital projects for the outlet, used shell companies in the Middle East and Africa to secretly provide nearly $10 million to the company believed to be Tenet between October 2023 and August 2024, while directing it to spread anti-US and anti-Ukraine messaging. Per the indictment, the RT staffers “covertly fund[ed] and direct[ed]” Tenet and its content, including personally editing and posting content themselves and directing what others posted.

I see Vox didn't make the picture but that doesn't really matter, I'm sure you can figure out where it's leading to if you put some effort into it..Blackvegetable » 08 Sep 2024, 6:12 am » wrote: ↑ According to the indictment, the pair, who worked on digital projects for the outlet, used shell companies in the Middle East and Africa to secretly provide nearly $10 million to the company believed to be Tenet between October 2023 and August 2024, while directing it to spread anti-US and anti-Ukraine messaging.

This just gets better and better...
While the indictment doesn’t directly name or accuse the influencers of wrongdoing, or state that they knew at the time that the money was part of a Russian influence operation, it alleged two employees of RT, the Russian state media propaganda outlet, paid nearly $10 million to hire the “talent” and create social media videos promoting its agenda. All of the figures have said they did not know the funds originated with the Kremlin and had no idea they were being employed for the purpose of amplifying pro-Russia narratives. The influencers all say they are “victims,” and that the FBI has contacted them for voluntary interviews....
But the secret payments lay bare how susceptible the new media ecosystem is to infiltration, where independent creators operate with few guardrails and little transparency. And while the personalities hired by Tenet regularly attack the traditional news media, the payments reveal the figures’ lack of accountability and integrity befitted to traditional journalistic outlets...While Rubin appeared to be unaware of the origins of the funds, the Justice Department said Tenet’s founders, the right-wing personality Lauren Chen and her husband, Liam Donovan, knew Grigoriann was a fake. Neither Chen nor Donovan are named in the indictment.
A private message between Chen and Donovan in May 2021 read, “So we’re billing the Russians from the corporation, right?” Two weeks later, another message said, “Also, the Russians paid. So we’re good to bill them for the next month I guess,” the legal filing details.

How much do you figure the Russians paid to assure you that "no one has been harder on Putin than Grifty"?
