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?
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.

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.

You are openly despised here.
