This is absolutely unrelated to the right wing conspiracy theory which is 100% a propaganda campaign.

  The 'right wing conspiracy theory' that you say this is unrelated to was this: *Using threadbare evidence, or none at all, the group suggested that a small American election software company, Konnech, had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States, according to online accounts from several people at the conference.* which is exactly what happened, and thus the arrest - so in this case, the 'theory' was spot on. Tell us again how this is unrelated?

    Where's your evidence that they had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and/or gave them backdoor access, as opposed to, say, hiring a dev team in China on Upwork because they were cheap, and had a poor understanding of compliant data handling?

      I’m sorry but this is actually kind of funny. You’re saying, basically: where are the secret ties? The ties are right there in the open! (Well now they are at least) “Hey they got caught. They’re not being so secretive anymore” is not really evidence suggesting that there was nothing nefarious occurring.

        The article says: "District Attorney investigators found that in contradiction to the contract, information was stored on servers in the People’s Republic of China." It doesn't say the communist party breached those servers, that there were deliberate ties, etc. There could well be. I'm just not seeing it in the article we're discussing, hence my question to you.

        There's no evidence presented in this arrest warrant that CCCP had access to this data or was even aware of its existence. The only charge is storing the data on servers in China. Slow your roll.
