I've been in the speaking industry ever since I started working full time "illegally" when I was still a teenager for a politically focused speakers bureau.
No doubt it my mind, WSB and other agencies are "laundering" political kickbacks through speaking fees. It's long been an open secret/assumption in the industry.
I co-founded a startup that published speaking fees, the IASB tried to find an angle to come after us but failed. Eventually proxies came after us to try and intimidate us from publishing fee and speaking calendars for politicians and pundits.

- mensetmanusman 6y agoThis is amazing, it deserves its own post describing the effort. Bright lights tend to disinfect. If something like this could be coordinated globally, it would be a great way to put pressure on power.
