      Nothing in the article discusses the legitimacy of the subscriptions. It could simply be a way money was funneled.

        Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

        If we cannot make a determination of the legitimacy of subscriptions, we equally cannot conclude if it was funneled either.

          That’s why I used the word could. In this context it’s used to express possibility.

            Yep. It’s also possible this is a distraction from us remembering USAID was investigating Starlink in Ukraine for shutting off satellite access to help Russia.
