While I don't think the Tenet organization are Russian assets or anything...from the very start they handled their organization ineptly, and wasted their talent.
And them not addressing this issue, while I think every individual creator has addressed it, is a pretty bad look. Tenet should have put out a video immediately; either from Chen, or someone on the channel...probably someone big like Tim Pool. Tenet management should have just told Tim to address the issue on the Tenet channel.
The only one I'd fully trust on this, though, is Matt Christiansen...and as a smaller creator it sounds like he wasn't even in the know in the slightest. The whole thing is a mess, and I wish Tenet was behaving sanely and telling people what is up. But, again, they've been retarded from the very start.
Honestly, I can buy that Chen is the issue here and everyone else was in the dark. Considering they were all blindsided and it sounds like the money stayed with Chen, it is probably the most believable outcome. And it looks like most of the people tangentially related like Tim, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson (the three I checked) are still fine and still have their channels.
That said, on the other hand, I absolutely do not doubt that this is a political hit job. Since it seems that it is starting to dawn on the powers that be that Trump is more likely than not going to win, so they are setting up Russiagate 2.0 to try and stymie him right off the rip. But I dont think it will work as well this time around.
And it looks like most of the people tangentially related like Tim, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson (the three I checked) are still fine and still have their channels.
We live in a time of guilt by association. I wouldn't say they're safe yet.
