ABC Stores on the Las Vegas Strip is advertising the Buzzballz Beatbox Cutwater Challenge.

Buy 1 Buzzballz, 1 Beatbox and 1 Cutwater, mix them together and drink it.

This bad idea will run you about $15.

@DanLifshatz The propaganda being spun to justify the trade is getting a little ridiculous

The irony in this story is overwhelming.

The guy fled China in 2014 because he faced prison for fraud and corruption. No-one believed China, despite them issuing an Interpol Red Notice for his arrest. Western media and US officials universally presented him as a brave dissident unfairly harassed by the "CCP" in a "politically motivated" way (https://t.co/z0vpZvYDrT) because he was fighting corruption (see this VOA story for instance: https://t.co/0rC47K7QDM), a complete inversion of reality.

Steve Bannon even started a nonprofit with him called the "Rule of Law Society." The irony writes itself.

Long story short and true to form, Miles Guo used his "dissident" credibility in the US to - guess what - defraud Americans of $1 billion.

And here we are, 12 years afterwards, with US courts essentially concluding "yeah no, he is actually a crook, our bad."

Which makes it probably the most expensive fact-check in history: $1 billion of damage to verify what an Interpol Red Notice said a decade ago.

I know I'll sound like a broken record but this is yet another fantastic illustration that the kneejerk anti-China bias in Western media is actively harmful. When China says "careful, that guy is a dangerous crook" maybe, just maybe, it's worth checking before branding him with a heroic "dissident" narrative that he can then use to rob your people's life savings... Just a thought 🤷
