This is the end-point of capitalism: the ultra-wealthy just allowed to run these organizations and only pay an utterly negligible fee for their transgressions.
It's going to keep happening and more and more often, because the oligarchs have finally completely taken over the global political theatre. Without a global revolution from the workers, we will end up going backwards and undoing everything.
This kind of slop for research has been passed around for decades. In the 1990s I read a "corporate intelligence report" on a company I was working for, it was 90% incorrect and 40% far far off target. Over the years I had several occasions to read and check these kinds of business research reports and they'd rarely even get the things that were published in the quarterly reports right, anything beyond that kind of public information was a lot of speculation, most of it wrong.
