The current Russian regime is very creative in its methods of disinformation.
This Hamilton 68 scandal reminded me of a ruse that the russians once set up to discredit the lists of their KIA soldiers in Ukraine.
They created a fake "human rights" group which at first republished data from credible open sources, but once they earned trust and publicity, they started throwing in bogus but easily identifiable names like soccer team rosters and such.
Then they publicly busted and humiliated their own fake "human rights" activists along with the other sources, exposing the fraud in the domestic media. The goal was to disredit the idea that the published information about russian losses (or bots in case of Hamilton 68) is trustworthy.
I am not saying that the parent organization of Hamilton 68 is a russian ruse but rather that the sources or some of the staff could be compromised.
