There are some ideas floating here and about how this was from the start a US government information operation, but I guess we will see if that is true.
[PostMillennial] Founders of Tenet Media, Lauren Chen and her husband, were raided by federal investigators as the DOJ announced that two Russian-state actors were indicted for laundering $10 million to their media company. They have not been charged.
Update: Shortly after this report was published, Tenet Media announced privately to its staff that it was ceasing operations, effective immediately.
The founders of Tenet Media, the right-wing media startup accused by the U.S. DOJ of illegally taking nearly $10 million from Russian state actors to launder Russian influence, were raided on Wednesday as the indictment was unsealed, according to sources who spoke exclusively with The Post Millennial.
The sources, who are not authorized to publicly speak on record, said the authorities confiscated the electronic devices belonging to Tenet Media owners Lauren Chen, also known as Lauren Yu Sum Tam, and her husband, Liam Donovan, around the time the Biden-Harris administration announced the indictment on Wednesday.
"I don’t think the owners had any idea [about the investigation]," one source said. "[The raid] just came out of nowhere."
Sources said the couple, who are Canadian nationals living in Tennessee, had recently returned from a trip abroad.
