The denunciation, which asks for two staff members of Russian state-controlled media channel RT, suggests that Chen and Donovan camouflaged the resource of Tenet's financing, creating a fake exclusive capitalist named "Eduard Grigoriann." Chen herself supposedly added articles to RT in 2021 as well as 2022. What's upcoming: The FBI proceeds looking into the supposed system.
