Journalist Kit Klarenberg’s new article at the Grayzone, “FTX partnership with Ukraine is latest chapter in shady Western aid saga,” sheds new light on the dark money-grabbing schemes emerging from the Ukraine proxy war.
The report leaks that Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX, the crypto exchange that saw its valuation implode from $32B to $0 in a single day, used a Ukraine fundraiser to scam $60 million from donors. The records, made public by the Grayzone, led to a mass selloff of FTX currency and a declaration of bankruptcy from the scam company.
Kit Klarenberg joins the Useful Idiots with the scoop.
He, along with his fellow Grayzone writers, has been the subject of multiple attacks for uncovering stories like this and his other new piece: “Leaked documents: British spies constructing secret terror army in Ukraine.” It seems that when government officials and the corporate media don’t want the truth uncovered, they don’t argue against the story but make personal attacks against the writer as character assassination.
And sadly, it works all too often.
One such corporate official, Useful-Idiot-favorite of Scary Poppins fame Nina Jankowicz, went after Klarenberg on Twitter. Kit describes the online beef in the extended episode. (turns out we can’t see those tweets because…)

Subscribe to hear the full interview, where Klarenberg reveals plots from UK operatives to blow up Ukrainian bridges, more Western destruction of peace talks, and how the US uses Britain to spread propaganda:
“I think the Iranians have it right,” he says, “when they say America is the great Satan and Britain is the cunning fox by its side.”
It’s all this, and more, on this week’s episode of Useful Idiots. Check it out.
