Based on an analysis of Telegram posts and materials from open sources, HunterBook journalists identified at least nine Russian military units accused of war crimes, or individuals linked to these units, who are using Ubiquiti equipment.

...

A reporter posing as an officer responsible for military procurement contacted Russian suppliers and several official Ubiquiti distributors in various countries worldwide.

Nearly a dozen sellers agreed to sell the banned export equipment. One supplier even provided letters of appreciation, which, according to him, were received for supplying Ubiquiti equipment to the Russian military.

edit what is the big gotcha about HunterBooker shorting the company it is writing articles about and doing an investigation into? Of course that should be taken into account, but so should the seriousness of evidence here independent of the grey areas of HunterBooker. If the evidence is substantial, that line of response is tangential to the point.

Aw man. I’m gonna have to stop buying their shit, and stop recommending it to friends :(

That's exactly what Hunter Capital wants. It's why they paid for the research that Hunter Media (the source of this article) did, why they spent more money to get a carefully written hit piece that pushes a narrative, and why they are spending even more money pushing this into the media.

Hunter Capital shorted UIs stock and they NEED the price to drop so they can make money. There's a much longer article out there but even it is hit piece meant to leave the reader with the impression that Ubiquiti is somehow directly involved in this or doing nothing about it, both of which are false.
