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.

Not unless you are buying Power or Nano beams. The equipment being used by Russian forces is the stuff that WISPs use, not the stuff that most people use at home or even their business.

You also need to know that the source for these allegations is Hunter Media which is owned by Hunter Capital and that Hunter Capital shorted Ubiquiti's stock...which means they need UIs share price to go down so they can make money.
