Lol. When you're supposed to be spreading propaganda for the CIA and destabilizing China but really you're just pocketing most of the money and running various scams instead and they finally notice.

It's as if these sorts of operations don't attracts the most principled people. ๐Ÿคฃ

I feel like this is the actual purpose for most CIA funded activities, they were just too obvious about it

Turns out, China actually kicked them out for a reason. Who could of guessed.

Huh. Surprised they cracked down on them, I would've thought this is chump change to the feds and they would just let it slide.

They'll likely scrap it for parts and reassign people to whatever new anti-China media channels they come up with.

It's very telling that this got dropped after Trump's case.

Probably way more than the 67 million, and this guy just got the scapegoat job. The fact that they didn't even give him their lawyers on retainer initially and he was assigned a public defender is both hilarious and very telling.

I can't imagine there is a single person at Epoch Times that is innocent. Maybe the janitors.
