Can Carter-Ruck be held liable for helping perpetuate this scam by their client? Anyone thinking class action suit with C-R as a defendant?

Nice work by TBIJ on Carter-Ruck, a scumbag law firm always willing to help organized crime try to shut down journalism, or in this case, criminals to perpetuate a scam. These firms are not acting in the public interest. They should be made to pay restitution to any victims harmed in this case.

No moment of silence is warranted. He was no hero. He was part of the problem. What happened to him was wrong and unacceptable but let’s see him for what he was: a racist, anti-democratic liar: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Kyrgyzstan was the closest thing to a democracy in Central Asia. Now it is maybe the worst government there. An organized crime connected government has eviscerated rule of law, democracy and human rights. Here is the story of what happened. www.occrp.org/en/project/u...

A lawyer for scumbag law firm Carter-Ruck is being brought up for improper threats to sue. We would argue almost all their letters to us are improper threats to sue. These attack dogs for organized crime and the corrupt need to be properly sanctioned: www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

Trump thinks if Russia wouldn’t have been thrown out of the G8 there wouldn’t be a war. Russia was thrown out because they illegally invaded Ukraine in 2014. What humiliation for the United States to have this kremlin owned puppet representing her on the world stage

⚡️ A terrible night in Kyiv: Russia attacked the capital with dozens of kamikaze drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Russians destroyed a residential building, under the rubble of which there may be people. Officials report 1 killed and 40 injured.

Thank you all who have supported OCCRP against bad media. It’s appreciated.

The most outrageous act in "investigative" journalism this year was an attack on OCCRP by @mediapart.fr and @dropsitenews.com. Their deeply flawed and biased story damaged numerous small investigative media across the globe. A new analysis by journalist Mark Hunter shows just how bad it was:🧵

Underreported but critically important. *️⃣*️⃣ Tik Tok actively leans right like all the other social media platforms. “A right wing capture of social media appears complete.”

A documentary by Russian state employee and Irish propagandist Chay Bowes is a smear against independent media in Serbia. In one hilarious scene he talks about how he can't find OCCRP partner KRIK but he's calling them with an old number and standing outside their office. Ring the bell, moron.

The Hungarian government is about to pass a law that will allow it to destroy the tiny online outlets that represent the last vestiges of independent Hungarian press 444.hu/2025/05/22/v...

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

Trump Tyranny Tracker: Day 122 is out! The daily tracker documenting the latest in corruption, power consolidation, civil & human rights abuses, and weaponization of government news.

He got a REAL ID, is a citizen and was arrested and told his real id was fake. ICE is a disgrace.

OCCRP partners wrote about how Russia was hiring Europeans through Telegram to start fires and damage infrastructure. They're at war with us even if we don't acknowledge it.

Thank god Trumps tax bill passed the house. I was worried about the top 0.1% of the richest US taxpayers. They'll now get $390,000 more per year. Yachts are expensive. Those under $17,000 will lose $1000 per year. (They would have spent it on fentanyl anyway). Debt will grow by $4.5 trillion. MAGA!

Gulfstream V used by Trump administration’s illegal attempt to unlawfully deport eight men to South Sudan by disregarding the orders of Brian Murphy, US district judge in Boston, is returning from Djibouti & flying over European skies en route to Shannon to refuel & then cross the pond to stateside.

Salon did this about our troubles. OCCRP sued Trump because his order to end grants obligated by the last Congress is both illegal and unconstitutional. This was the right thing to do. We don’t expect the money back but we do expect laws to be followed: www.instagram.com/reel/DImV-RF...

The situation in Ukraine in a few words: The Ukrainians fight well for their existence. The united Europeans support them ever more. Putin refuses to give up his futile war of aggression. Trump has no clue but loves Putin. What an embarrassment for the US!
