These acts may be criminal in nature. You'll see in this attachment we pulled a single 48 hour scrape of fake stories. Disclosure: The owner owns a large advertising company The owner is a former business partner of mine I have begged and pleaded with him to stop posting fake headlines/bull shit >I can show you what his reasoning is if you'd like in screenshots >>My contributions here are anonymous/off the record Someone currently in my employ used to work for him. There is reason to believe as aforementioned they have found a way to manipulate both the Facebook system responsiveness as well as "stack" "cut" their traffic (basically the way a drug dealer cuts drugs, since they own an advertising company, they have abundant traffic at higher rates which can be "cut", if you have thousands of clients and you do this just a little to each, no one notices. Company: Adiply (Owned by same guys) Lanista Concepts (Owned by same guys) They made their original money in "traffic arbitrage" Partners: Doug Stupay - CEO (Talker, marketer, low IQ, low morals, no interest in politics) Geoff Stupay (brother) CTO - Very clever, quiet, reserved, calculating. You'll find that digging into the back end of this will be very sophisticated, everything is spread very thin. See attached for article links and page names. They are prolific "domain hoppers" --- Dozens and dozens of domains. They recently registered a bunch on the same day privately. They have been flagged once for fake news(by Facebook), otherwise, they are clean, to my knowledge. They were also sued --- trying to get verification on for what -- I believe they were included in Trump Melania escort piece, but, didn't get anywhere, will follow up with confirmation on which suit it was. ## Facts ```json { "platform": "Gmail", "source_id": "162bb3581e1f1298", "date_as_recorded": "Thu, 12 Apr 2018 11:54:28 -0700", "from": "Cyrus Massoumi ", "to": "Scott Shane ", "subject": "Stupay Network (6M Liberals + 4M ish Conservative, + probably more)", "category": null, "body_status": "full text (agent capture)", "account": "massoumi.cyrus@gmail.com", "retrieval": "/home/hatch/workspace/email/gmail/2edecc0d89dd0e7eb3a295add66c08aac6e690a64b260f238ae9f4448c10e34e.md" } ``` --- **above:** [[fn-index-emails]]
