Just like that, the reputation that Larry Kong builds all his life has gone into toilet.

Why did he accept the money to make such a phony interview?

The original interview done by Larry King

Larry King was duped to make a fake interview with a Russian reporter

The fake interview aimed at tarnishing a Chinese billionaire dissident Guo Wengui, who lives in Manhattan.

Chinese authorities contend that Guo committed crimes in China, including rape and kidnapping, and they have unsuccessfully sought his deportation from the U.S.
Jacobi Niv,

the middle man who hooked up Larry King & Itai Rapoport, an Israeli production company agent,

said Rapoport had approached him and asked to sign a deal for Larry to host an online conference ‘about US-China relations’

but none of them knew Mr. Guo 郭文貴
“Posted on YouTube under the title “Larry King US China Special Conference 2019,”

and quickly spread by social media accounts linked to Chinese government influence operations,

the fake interview went viral across Chinese-language social media,
As a result, Twitter took down 250 accounts that shared the video.

Larry King claimed he didn’t know what the video was for when he taped the dialogue, and he had never watched the video.

For someone who’s been a reporter for 50+ years, is he telling the truth?🤔
