BREAKING: The FBI has opened a "sprawling" investigation into the financial activity of @OnlyFans following Forensic News reporting, according to two people *directly* involved. The multi-billion dollar company is under investigation for a wide array of potential crimes.
The two sources are completely independent of one another. One of the sources said that multiple government agencies are involved, not only in the US but around the world. The owner of OnlyFans, Leonid Radvinsky, is a US citizen.
The CEO and original founder, Tim Stokely, is based in the UK.
Here are the two reports the Forensic News has done on OnlyFans, citing dozens of people who are claiming fraud, theft, and other irregularities. forensicnews.net/tag/onlyfans/
I've consulted with sex workers every step of the way when reporting on OnlyFans and have in fact spoken to dozens of OF content creators who have had their money stolen, but I want to remind everyone that my DMs are open for any feedback/concerns/questions.

"American intelligence officials have found no evidence that aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots in recent years are alien spacecraft, but they still cannot explain the unusual movements that have mystified scientists and the military" nytimes.com/2021/06/03/us/…
Wow: "The report determines that the vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology"
Talk about burying the lede with a shitty headline...

As always, Marcy nails it and gives credit.

I do want to point out a couple of things that NYT got wrong and will be proven wrong in the coming weeks:
The main thing that they got wrong is that Artemenko was *absolutely* under investigation as of December, 2020, as we reported. NYT says this (they are wrong)
The other piece is Giuliani. Forensic News reported that the FBI was investigating Derkach *as part of the Giuliani probe*

This is a brilliant breakdown of serious suspicious activity with OnlyFans financials. This thread is exactly the article I was writing before the Guardian scooped me :)
I've been studying the financial activity of OnlyFans for more than a year now, and I'm going to keep screaming about the huge red flags until someone notices.

People are starting to pay attention to the cash-cow behemoth of OnlyFans as its owners and directors engage in highly suspicious financial activity. theguardian.com/culture/2021/m…
A side company owned by the OnlyFans COO and Head of Finance with $6 THOUSAND dollars in the bank was purchased by OnlyFans for $28.8 MILLION.
Meanwhile, the owner of OnlyFans, Leonid Radvinsky, paid himself a $23.9 MILLION dividend. Despite numerous published Suspicious Activity Reports filed against Radvinsky for years, he has largely avoided public scrutiny. He is now likely a billionaire.

Is there any reason why someone like Tapper (with 3.3M followers) should post these kind of videos to a wider audience?
I get that it’s easy to do and easy for this kind of video to get engagements but I suspect the vast majority of Tapper’s followers know exactly what Greene stands for - why amplify?
I get it if it’s someone under legal scrutiny who is contracting him/herself and/or lying about material events, etc, but what’s the trade off? Why expose more people to this and give Green exactly what she wants (outrage and airtime)?

For those asking about Val Broeksmit: I still don’t have any independent confirmation of where he is. The LAPD hasn’t said anything recently, the case is still active. In the interest of full transparency, I want to share a couple of things, though (1/x)
Val’s girlfriend has been in the middle of a custody dispute with her ex husband over their young child. I know for a fact this was taking a lot of Val’s time and energy.
I only mention this because I want everyone to know that there’s a possibility that this stressful situation has more to do with his disappearance than the Deutsche Bank/Russia stuff. I just don’t know.
