Federal prosecutors say Russia paid an American media company to push pro-Kremlin messages from social media influencers including Benny Johnson, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin.
the guy behind it “eduard” who isn’t real and doesnt exist was supposedly the canada guy.
It’s possible lauren is based in canada, but the company was listed in kentucky? i think. The money was funneled in from various different shell corps.
yeah, i didn’t and still don’t know much about them personally, but i still believe unless i’m just pulling this part out of my ass that the fake person was supposed to be based either, somewhere in europe or possibly canada?
Regardless, they’re still worse than the two russians that were indicted lol.
Yes. “Grigorian” was the fictitious investor they set up to act as the funding source.
However, in the communication between Chen and her husband they were able to figure out whoever that they were based out of Russia. In one of the messages between the they are found looking up Moscow time to check why Grigorian hadn’t replied to a communication.
yeah, it’s truly wild. Especially when you consider how much tim pool was being paid, i think it was 400k a month? About 100k per video. Which is wildly outside of market value for what he was doing.
The fact that chen and her husband definitely knew, and that the primary hosts probably knew the funding was at the very least suspect, doesn’t paint a good picture for the outcome of any of these people.

Lauren and her partner are Canadians (Persons 1&2 in the indictment). They set up a company in Tennessee to manage production and pay the ‘talent’.
