  1. while I hate Putin and Russia I assume China isn’t observing sanctions. isn’t India also selling stuff to them?

    basically, I’m surprised this was even necessary.

  3. We’ve got globetrotting millennial social media influencers financing their TikTok videos through illegal arms deals with foreign superpowers. What a wild world we live in, man.

  5. > According to the DOJ, The couple would fly to NYC from Canada, buy electronics through shell companies, and then ship them to Russia. Many of the shipped parts had serial numbers, which made it easy to link the parts and shipments back to the trio.

    People this stupid should stick with Tiktok.

  9. This is *not* what I meant when I commented slay queen on her posts.

  10. Not sure why VICE News thinks her being a “millennial” is salient in this headline…

  12. oh word? where can I get a job doing that? she probably made bank

  14. Any chance that some of these electronics carry some form of tracker/spying devices?

  15. WhoTF cares she’s a millennial? Sensationalist RW boomer propaganda

  17. But Elon Musk can make 50x that allowing them to use StarLink. Selective sanctions!

  19. Send her to Ukraine to dog trenches on the front lines. It would be poetic justice if she was sent off by something built from the stuff she smuggled.

  21. You know I consider myself something of a “puzy Reva” my self.

    “Tom Keatinge, director of the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies at the U.K.-based Royal United Services Institute, said that historically weak enforcement by sanctions authorities meant that managing assets for wealthy sanctioned individuals did not carry much risk and was highly profitable.
    “The paycheck is often worth it. You see very few cases of individuals being added to sanctions lists — let alone prosecuted — for facilitating sanctions evasion,” Keatinge told OCCRP. “To change people’s attitudes, we need some heads on spikes.””

  23. “globetrotting mid 30 year old” is more accurate 🙂

  24. Throw away the key. This woman deserves to rot.

  26. Probably get a $5,000 fine and have to write an apology letter.

  27. Ya know, I’ve always wondered how many IG models are actually smugglers or spies

  28. As we found out, just send a mid woman to any Republican law maker and they will gladly give all state secrets away for some attention.

  30. This “influencer“ has 638 followers on Instagram with an average of ~30 likes per photo. Either they linked the wrong profile (unlikely as the photos are used in the article) or this headline is a new low, even by Vice “standards“

  33. How is Russia paying these people?? They need to go after the money, sanction/seize where ever its coming from.

  34. I’m sorry but the title of this article has be laughing.

    “These women are nothing but a bunch of globetrotting millennials!”
