Thread by @christogrozev

In 2015 I wrote a blog post/investigation on Konstantin Malofeev's attempts to take over critical Bulgarian infrastructure using a Belgian front man, Pierre Louvrier (mini-thread) cgrozev.wordpress.com/2015/03/26/mal…

A couple of months after this post I got a courteous yet threatening email from Louvrier's PR agency, @EM_Comms, cc his law firm, @CMS_law . Long story short, asked me to retract my claims of linkage to Malofeev, or face legal action

..to which I replied with a courteous... FU.

Now, I never heard from Mr. Leasor or the lawyers again. And never thought of them again, until earlier this week when Bulgarian investigative website @BivolBg forwarded to me correspondence that this amazing, competent PR firm cc:ed to them, in addition to their client Louvrier.

Typically, I would never disclose correspondence that has been sent in error. Except when there is an overriding public interest. Which, in this case, can be distilled to the question: Who the f are "the famous robots to be unleashed"?

Dear @EM_Comms and @cms_law, asking for an army of blogger friends. Who are the famous robots that you expected to unleash? Were they by chance based in St. Petersburg? Please enlighten us on who they are and how leading global PR and law firms make use of them. Spasibo.

@EM_Comms @CMS_law Talk about bringing the comments back from the past to the present.
