CEO arrested just 1 day after NYT profiled his firm as the victim of an ‘election denier’ ‘conspiracy theory’
Fox News
New York Times reporter Stuart Thompson attacked a “election denier” claim about a Michigan firm and was forced to backtrack on it after the head was arrested on Tuesday.
Thompson, a technology reporter "covering misinformation and disinformation," attacked what he called a "conspiracy theory" from "a group of election deniers" over the claim that Konnech has ties to China.

"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," Thompson wrote.
