Cointelegraph relationship with Nexo

•

Following the Nexo revelations one must ask how independent is Cointelegraph as a crypto news outlet? otter has explosive findings that casts doubt on @cointelegraph journalistic integrity like, retweet & read on 🦦👇🏼🧵

it all centers around Teodora her bio claims she is in Nexo's Prime Brokerage department her old posts claim she was in Nexo PR team otter's sources claim that she is the girlfriend of Nexo founder, Kosta, who is currently on the run twitter.com/otteroooo/status/1613988089705422848?s=20

background story Nexo issued cease & desist letters to twitter users who retweeted and commented on otter's posts on Nexo oddly enough otter did not receive the letter twitter.com/Frances_Coppola/status/1541200879361089538?s=20

Both Coindesk & @Cointelegraph approached otter for a story otter obliged and gave both reporters the same info yet the resulting articles could not be more different! read on and you be the judge

Here is Coindesk's coverage from @thesamreynolds

and here is the coverage by @Cointelegraph by Deputy Editor @jessecogo

it seemed that Cointelegraph was a tad biased towards Nexo to otter the article reads like a paid Nexo piece with strong emphasis on Nexo's response "SMEAR CAMPAIGN" flashed the headlines otters were irritated but we let journalists do their thing

so imagine our surprise when in digging on the whereabouts of Nexo founders we see Kosta's girlfriend Teodora in a series of photos here we see Teodora "having too much fun hosting @KristinaLCorner & @Cointelegraph with the @Nexo PR team"

or Teodora with Cointelegraph here at the Eiffel Tower, Paris who paid for this event or trip? was it Nexo? was it @Cointelegraph ? was there really ❤️ between them ? 🦦

perhaps Nexo is playing up their relationship with Cointelegraph? absolutely not, it seems! here is the EDITOR-IN-CHIEF of @Cointelegraph having "great pleasure to have met Teodora retweet this 🦦

or how about the time @Cointelegraph EDITOR IN CHIEF @KristinaLCorner selected Teodora for the #CointelegraphTop100 what are the criteria to selection? how many of the top 100 came from companies that paid Cointelegraph? are there disclaimers? should there be? 🦦

do you reckon there is a conflict of interest here? will @cointelegraph disclose how much money Nexo has ever paid them will cointele disclose if they have received money or gifts for writing this article? will cointelegraph share the inspiration for the image in this article?

did cointelegraph know of the illegal activities that Nexo is alleged to have done before if so, did cointelegraph knowingly abet or assist Nexo in legitimising them through favorable media coverage? is Nexo a client of cointelegraph? twitter.com/otteroooo/status/1613970264391581696?s=20

@cointelegraph, your readers deserve to know your employees deserve to know your advertisers deserve to know this is not a rogue intern who got carried away in an industry cocktail event this is your EDITOR IN CHIEF frolicking with alleged criminal organization! RT this 🦦

by the way Cointelegraph readership is several magnitudes below otter's twitter account a thread from otter two days back has 25x more views than a Cointelegraph article written 6 months ago 146k vs 5k 🦦
