I've never once ran a background check or done any research whatsoever on any boss/client/customer or anything similar I've ever had. The whole "They should have researched this guy enough to know his identity was fake" is a bizarre cope and either retards with an axe to grind or literal bots/fedposters.
As someone else mentioned in the other thread and you dodged answer, are you doing a full financial audit of every financial transaction in your life? Are you even doing that for major ones?
Maybe later but first I'd like to hear about how you autistically conducted a full financial audit of every retail job you've ever worked before accepting your paycheck. You know, to make sure you weren't accepting money from glowies.
Why not? The principle is the same, it's just a difference of degrees. You could be taking glowies' money for working the register at some deli that's really just a front for [insert choice of nefarious entity] and never know it if you didn't do your homework.
given the proxy war currently going on with Russia?
There are probably about half a dozen proxy wars going on within the US currently, not least of which is the deep-state against their own citizens' constitutional right to freedoms. The Russians probably shouldn't even rank in the top 3 infiltration concerns of a new media company.
Yeah you're right, smart people should be more careful about letting their company be subverted, but " 'cuz Russia" isn't the smart reason why. And there's yet to be any evidence that the money actually changed anything about their reporting, money alone is not proof. It could turn out they were still skeptical enough about the funding that they refused any strings RT tried to attach and Tenet's own independent desire desire to be contrarians to the US gov's own propaganda was enough to warrant RT funding even without gaining the means to directly influence it.
I'm actually in a similar situation of being paid absurd amounts of money for essentially nothing. I'm working as a consultant currently for another company and being paid hundreds of dollars an hour to read powerpoint slides to a room full of bored office drones that have to be there.
It's absolutely a rort and I'm being paid hand over fist, and I can't imagine how much the guys who run the "company" are charging them. It's a flash website that's run by 2 guys in different states that contract everything out.
That Russia is somehow involved has never, not literally once, even come close to crossing my mind.
Are you telling me if you got offered $700k+ for something
Depends on who I am and what "something" was.
If someone offered you $700k for something, yeah, you'd better be skeptical because you're not worth that much. But you aren't Dave Rubin or Tim Pool. Dave is delusional enough to think that he's worth that and Tim Pool, with his audience, almost certainly is. Are either of them worth $5m/year? I'd say probably not.
Of course, without editorial control, I don't see what someone would stand to gain from giving either one of them anything, but that's a whole different issue. And if it was just a honeypot to begin with, the "investors" don't need to gain anything, which makes the whole thing make a lot more sense.
As far as I can tell the indictment doesn't say the money was contingent on reporting a certain way.
The money allegedly was from someone from RT, under a fake identity posing as an independent publisher offering to bankroll their new start-up media project. Then separately two guys from RT also got employed as third party video editors after applying under fake identities and allegedly tried to influence the content from below the creators on the hierarchy.
Bear in mind these are allegations from the same intelligence community that fabricated Russian bed-piss stories from whole cloth and that is the most incriminating story they dare to imagine.
The only complaints I can see are that, one: they're allegedly pretty fuckin gullible by how basic these fake identities they believed were, but a lot of these guys already have a history of that. You practically have to be more dedicated than smart to be the willing face of any media challenging the status quo these days, given the likely personal outcomes. That's why I don't even like any of the Tenet opinion piece crap, dumb people annoy me too much to want to hear more dumb takes.
And two: they allegedly knew/suspected the money came from Russia, the country not the government, which if you care about the US' warhawking sanctions would be a no-no, but personally IDGAF about the Biden administration's perpetual hard-on for playing chicken with WW3, so I say fuck those bitches and get paid son. If it were the gov sure, but supposedly independent Russian citizens aren't someone I need to cut off.
But it's not illegal to take the money. Unless I'm mistaken the charges are a failure to register with the DOJ and money laundering, would either of those be on a background check?
Lauren isn't getting charged. The indictment is against two nobody Russia Today employees who can't be arrested and are probably patsies of the DOJ anyway
You hate glowies so you just defame their victims and blame them for being targeted by glowies in your comments. Got it. No wonder the people in your country stopped protesting so quickly about being replaced.
There are other 'retards' pointing out the exact same thing that I am
I'm aware.
If I ever got offered that much money for anything like this I would immediately ask first whether they have any kinds of ties with a government organisation or receive government money.

You just summed up why the thread was made after OP was blasted for being more retarded than usual in another thread related to this concept.

He can't do that, because he IS accepting money from glowies.
Why not? The principle is the same, it's just a difference of degrees. You could be taking glowies' money for working the register at some deli that's really just a front for [insert choice of nefarious entity] and never know it if you didn't do your homework.
You are openly despised here.

I don't know if a background check would have prevented the charges here.

I didn't say she was getting charged. I've said she wasn't in fact.

Where was the lie? That's exactly what you've spent the past two days doing.
Will do. As-salamu alaykum my brother.
I'm aware.
And they'd tell you "no."
