One would think she stole enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life. So why would she risk herself for this London "penthouse"? Makes no sense.................. unless........ there's something valuable in the penthouse.
Keep in mind that the source of this "news" story is Zero Hedge -- which is basically a Russian propaganda outlet.
ZeroHedge continually promoting Kremlin propaganda has been outlined regularly in the Politics threads. Let's start with this as some background. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/zero-hedge/ ZeroHedge CONSPIRACY-PSEUDOSCIENCE Sources in the Conspiracy-Pseudoscience category may publish unverifiable information that is not always supported by evidence. These sources may be untrustworthy for credible/verifiable information; therefore, fact-checking and further investigation is recommended on a per article basis when obtaining information from these sources. See all Conspiracy-Pseudoscience sources. Overall, we rate ZeroHedge an extreme right-biased conspiracy website based on the promotion of false/misleading/debunked information that routinely denigrates the left. Detailed Report Bias Rating: RIGHT CONSPIRACY/PSEUDOSCIENCE Factual Reporting: LOW Country: Bulgaria Press Freedom Rating: LIMITED FREEDOM Media Type: Website Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic MBFC Credibility Rating: LOW CREDIBILITY History Launched in 2009, ZeroHedge or Zero Hedge is a finance blog founded by Colin Lokey, also known as “Tyler Durden,” Daniel Ivandjiiski, and Tim Backshall. According to a Bloomberg Interview, the ZeroHedge founders/authors were anonymous until 2016. A Professional Service Subscription is required to read the rest of Bloomberg’s interview; however, a New Yorker article also covered their history. ZeroHedge wrote a rebuttal article regarding the Bloomberg interview that can be found here. A quote reads: “Zero Hedge hired Colin after he approached us over a year ago begging for a job after being fired with cause from Seeking Alpha, following a fight with a co-worker.” On 02/15/2022, U.S. intelligence officials accused Zero Hedge of amplifying Kremlin propaganda targeting Ukrainians and taking direction from Russian spies. Zero Hedge denies the claim. Read our profile on Bulgaria’s government and media. Funded by / Ownership The website is registered in Bulgaria under the name Georgi Georgiev, a business partner of Krassimir Ivandjiiski. According to Rationalwiki, the only writer “conclusively” identified is “Dan Ivandjiiski, who conducts public interviews on behalf of Zero Hedge.” The blog generates revenue from online advertising. Analysis / Bias A quote from the above New Yorker article summarizes the blog’s political stance, which Lokey told Bloomberg is: “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry= dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.” ZeroHedge’s content has been classified as “alt-right” and has been criticized for presenting conspiracy theories. In review, ZeroHedge publishes pro-right wing/Trump articles such as Pat Buchanan: “Trump Calls Off Cold War II.” As well as fake news stories regarding liberals: Anti-Trump Protesters Bused Into Austin, Chicago. Editorial content is written under the pseudonym Tyler Durden and usually focuses on conspiracies related to economic collapse. Zero Hedge sources to factually mixed think tanks such as The Mises Institute, which promotes Austrian (Anarcho-Capitalism) economics. Finally, during the Coronavirus outbreak of 2020, they have frequently promoted false and misleading information, as evidenced by failed fact checks below. Failed Fact Checks Says China “stole Coronavirus from Canada and weaponized it into a Bioweapon.” – False Craigslist ad proof counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally “paid to make chaos”? – False It’s now against the law in California to shower and do laundry on the same day. – Mostly False A “newly uncovered” photograph reveals Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was crying over an empty parking lot, not detained migrant children, at a protest in Texas. – False “The Ukrainian government just indicted the Burisma gas company & named Hunter Biden for accepting millions of dollars from a slush fund.” – False During the last hundred years the temperature increased about 0.1°C because of carbon dioxide. The human contribution was 0.01°C. – Incorrect New Study Confirms EVs Considerably Worse For Climate Than Diesel Cars – Inaccurate This coronavirus genome contained sequences of another virus […] the HIV virus (AIDS virus) – Inaccurate Coronavirus contains ‘HIV insertions’ – Inaccurate Fabricated genetic sequences used to support the hypothesis the virus arose naturally – False ”Pfizer launches final study for COVID drug that’s suspiciously similar to ‘horse paste’” ivermectin. – False A preprint of an ivermectin study in the Brazilian city of Itajaí found that prophylactic ivermectin reduced COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality by half. – Unsupported Overall, we rate ZeroHedge an extreme right-biased conspiracy website based on the promotion of false/misleading/debunked information that routinely denigrates the left.

Bull. Zero hedge is simply open to many viewpoints rather than being the groupthink echo chamber that is most of the media. It's sad that modern "liberals" cannot handle even the slightest difference in viewpoint. If you want talk talk about pushing "Russian propaganda" look at how every major media outlet pushed the obviously BS Steele dossier. Where's your warning every time a media outlet that pushed that nonsense is mentioned? Also most of these "fact checkers" are just propagandists themselves. The exists mostly to shelter heavily biased and routinely inaccurate corporate media while attacking any other source ruthlessly.
