The indictment alleges the conspiracy-fueled paper’s massive revenue growth in recent years was tied to the chief financial officer’s fraudulent “Make Money Online” team.

    Anyone who didn’t know it was a Chinese owned propaganda factory was refusing to follow the money.

      Its actually the opposite. Its a publication supporting the Falun Gong which the CCP vehemently hate.

      What exactly are you implying by Chinese owned? The epoch time has long been a tool of US foreign policy against China.

        It’s a tool of Falun Gong. Falun Gong doesn’t like the Chinese government because of the crackdown on Falun Gong. That doesn’t make it a friend or tool of the United States.

        Falun Gong believes a bunch of untrue things, but China also doesn’t allow free expression. They don’t just crack down on cults. They crack down on any dissent.

          Yes, I’m well aware, but it seems like the person I replied to thinks they are a tool of the Chinese state instead of a useful stooge of the CIA.

        I hope Speculator isn’t an idiot, and means it was Chinese owned (which it was) as opposed to owned by China (which it isn’t).

        That was all to get the right to take it seriously. It worked.
