"In the autumn of 2025, I published a subpoena received from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I published that subpoena as an act of responsible disclosure. I resolved upon a simple principle: should any authority send me a legal instrument, I would publish it forthwith. And that is precisely what transpired. Since that day, I have been asked time and again: “And what happens next?” Imagine my surprise, then, when the matter spilled into the mainstream news and reached million eyes. But let us be clear: these were not news reports in any genuine sense. The standard refrain read, “We have reached out to the site’s operator and will update this story upon receiving a response.” Yet no journalist ever contacted us (only exception is Meduza, asking for an interview and a bigger article later). This was not investigative journalism; it was dissemination - pure and simple. A prepackaged narrative, delivered to newsrooms with the polite request: “Dear comrades, here is the truth - please publish it.”"
