This needs it's own thread.
This is huge, and probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson have been funded with millions of dollars of laundered Russian disinformation money through a front called "Tenet Media".
Johnson was being paid 7 fucking million a year. Pool was being paid 400,000 a month! Where the fuck did they think the money was coming from, because in NO WAY was the ad revenue paying out that much, and most of them had been demonetized.
ALL of them are claiming to not know this, and claim they too are "victims." (curious how their denials are quite similar.)
Note: Not one of them is claiming this is "lawfare" or that it isn't true. Though I am sure they will start using that line as soon as GQP handlers take over.
But even more curious is how their narratives in their propaganda were also quite similar down to pushing the identical pro-Russia/anti-Ukraine talking points on at the same time.

Russian money was funneled to right-wing creators through a pro-Trump media outlet, prosecutors say
The indictment of two RT employees includes allegations that they implemented a nearly $10 million plan to fund a Tennessee-based company as one of their “covert projects.”
