The Counter Signal founder Keean Bexte has been offered thousands of dollars of dark money to push pro-Ukrainian propaganda across his massive Twitter following.
Bexte was contacted on Twitter by a user named Volodymyr Kuzma, and offered $200 for each tweet in support of Ukraine. Kuzma asked Bexte to tweet several times per week. He also said he already has other journalists on his payroll.
“Would you consider posting links to human rights articles on your Twitter page?” Kuzma said in a message to Bexte, who has more than 215,000 followers on Twitter.
“These articles are published in well-known publications such as Amnesty, Reuters, DW, etc,” Kuzma continued.
A Ukrainian journalist has offered to pay me thousands of dollars of dark money to push pro-Ukraine propaganda. According to him, he already has other journalists on his payroll and would pay me more than the average Ukrainian makes in a month for a couple tweets. THREAD:
