Exclusive: Grizzlies Owner Robert Pera Linked to Russia’s “Crimes Against Humanity” | PTFO
How did Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera’s Ubiquiti technology end up in the hands of Vladimir Putin’s military? And how did we get from Ja Morant, Justin Timberlake and Kevin Hart… to drone strikes on Ukraine and an illegal trade war in Russia? Hunterbrook Media’s Sam Koppelman breaks down how his reporters investigated from a bird’s-eye view, to a high-end Moscow dealer, to undercover calls back home — and asks what the hell Adam Silver’s gonna do about another billionaire scandal hiding in plain sight.

Meanwhile Lockheed Martin is making billions selling weapons to Ukraine. This is the biggest nothing burger Pablo has ever put out.
If there is not a warrant for this guys arrest in the next few weeks, I am convinced that the war in ukraine is just being used to drive up stock price for american firms that have a strong influence in goverment(s).
Wouldn’t wish being a Grizzlies fan on my worst enemy
What's Trump's cut? Is he only getting his grift on the purchase or the bribe to get the criminal out of prison
What happens if that small cylinder gets stuck in a slightly larger cylinder?
Lenin was accurate when he said “the capitalist will sell us the ropes with which we will hang them.” The irony.
Ya'll can't stop pushing this story. it's hypocrisy from the *elite at it's finest.
I hope you press Adam Silver at the all star game and make it clear the message he's sending out by not calling out by letting this slide.
Sounds like what he's doing in Ukraine (selling equipment to facilitate a genocide), is the same thing that the US government is doing in Gaza.
Pabloooooooo. Bob comes from $$, just making more and more
If I was a Grizz fan I'd be out until this criminal is removed from the team. Adam, you are up.
I love how Pablo's platform has become the place to break investigating journalism news 🔥
Glad Josh peck found a career after acting
I know Adam Silver and all commissioners and authoritative powers stomachs drop every time Pablo drops 🤣
As a grizzlies fan, this fucking sucks
Pablo is LOCKED IN on the shape of that antenna
Keep up the good work guys!
F these billionaires!
so if Ja got 33 games for showing a gun on Instagram and don sterling got banned for not liking black people… what does this guy get for war crimes?!?!?
Jfc this was so fucking good.
I’m from Ukraine. Thanks for the reporting
Pretty weird how you don’t disclose that your guest works for a hedge fund that has taken a short position in Ubiquiti stock
This episode was perfectly layered. Great storytelling Pablo!
Brilliant.
Wait, there's an unscrupulous tech billionaire?!!!
Are they restricted via ITAR ?
how much responsibility does ubiquiti actually have with this? like sure its really bad that the russian military are getting ahold of this equipment, but the vendor who was copying ubiquiti's website (31:28) like that just seems like they're infringing on ubiquiti's copyright more than anything. Are these vendors actually dealing with ubiquiti proper or are they buying them off amazon and then shipping them to russia with marked up prices? It feels like theres a step missing here that actually pins this on Ubiquiti unless this NIna person is really an employee of Ubiquiti or something. As much as I want the owner of the Grizzlies to be complicit in war crimes because its good chisme because I don't like the Grizzlies (or Ja) or even dealing with Ubiquiti which I have done quite a bit professionally I think the title might be a bit sensational on this one.
Why isnt this bigger news? Blood of hundreds of thousands are on Pera's hands. He's a war criminal.
