Wanna hear my theory? The FSB employs trolls to try undermine anyone who is critical of the great Russian regime by posting stupid conspiracy theories online. They often have to create new accounts, because old ones get banned quickly and frequently.

3 people, 2 of whom have accounts created just today for this thread, post something negatve towards Bellingcat without any proof. Crazy coincidence.

Those "two" new accounts are probably the same person, I'm sure that paid trolls occasionally drop in on HN, but HN has plenty of native trolls doing it for the love of the game (or out of sincere ideological commitment).
