Worryingly, experienced U.S. soldier, John McIntyre, who went to fight for Ukraine, defected to Russia, and appeared on 🇷🇺 state TV which said he'd provided military intelligence to Moscow.
It appears a lot of people inc media have been duped by this guy
Likely bc he was there early on after full-invasion - it was quite easy to create a fictional online 'war soldier' legend to collect donations and allegedly defraud people
The other one that came to light fairly recently, was @cryptodrftng and her close ties to Ethereum (crypto) founder & Kremlin linked Vitalik Buterin & his father. She popped up on the scene as full-invasion started. Is alleged to have stolen about $100,000 from Ukraine donations
