Wrong again, that’s not how it works. It would be like you have a following and I see that you have a following. So I bring you onto my network to bring in viewers. Also that doesn’t mean I tell you how I fund you or push you on what to say.
you should probably read the actual indictment before commenting further

a. On or about February 15, 2024, AFANASYEVA (as "Helena Shudra")
shared with U.S. Company-I a video of a well-known U.S. political commentator visiting a
grocery store in Russia. AF ANASYEV A posted the video in the Producer Discord Channel. Later
that day, Producer-I privately messaged Founder-2 on Discord: "They want me to post this" -
referencing the video that AF ANASYEVA had posted - but "it just feels like overt shilling."
Founder-2 replied that Founder-I "thinks we should put it out there." Producer-I acquiesced,
responding, "alright I'll put it out tomorrow."

b. As another example, on or about March 22, 2024, AF ANASYEV A (as
"Helena Shudra") shared in the Producer Discord Channel a video of the March 22, 2024 terrorist
attack on a music venue in Moscow, which killed approximately 145 people and injured hundreds
24
more. Producer-I privately messaged Founder-I, writing: "I don't know if you saw it, but they
want me to post some footage from an attack in Moscow today. There's a watermark in the middle
of the page that's blurred, which looks bad, and it's also pretty graphic. You can see people getting
shot, albeit from far away." Founder-I did not push back on the content of the clip, but replied in
the Producer Discord Channel: "I'm not sure it's a good idea to blur out someone's watermark."
AFANASYEVA (as "Helena Shudra") then assured the group that "t's fine no worries. It falls
under fair use." Producer-I and Producer-2 found a video clip of the attack without a watermark
and posted the clip to X, satisfying AF ANASYEV A's request.
they knew exactly what they were doing, the talking points were agreed upon beforehand and fed to them
