The fact this was investigated by the NYT means this is likely propaganda, and highly suspect.

Maybe this person is encroaching on their territory, or more than likely this is just a hit job for some political reason.

I'd cite a reputable store, or realize this is probably a hit job. This guy is probably bad, but when you have NYT doing a hit piece like this, there's probably something else going on

The russiagate smear treatment.

If the oligarchy doesn't like you, then there will be a propaganda campaign that links you to 'shadowy' Chinese or Russian entities. The propaganda will involve many 'bombshells' and 'mountains of evidence' from 'knowledgeable but unnamed sources who are close to the matter'.
