You can't just put on earmuffs and figure out what's happening.

But these guys should know this.

And that's true in part because, Pablo, it's not just the Russian distributors selling these devices to Russian soldiers.

So we actually called up one ubiquity distributor in America.

Multilink Solutions.

It's an Ohio-based official Ubiquiti reseller.

A Hunterbrook reporter posing as a Russian customer is asking about 450 Ubiquiti devices.

So I want to be clear that they followed up saying they couldn't ship directly to Russia.

It's not like FedEx was gonna agree to that shipment.

But there was some wiggle room.

where they could send these products to the Russian end customers through an intermediary third country.

So we provided an address in Turkey, and Multilink sent an invoice confirming delivery.

Again, to be very explicit here, they still thought we were Russian.

And they know that you're not allowed to sell these devices to Russia.

So instead, they sell them to us as Russians through an intermediary address in Turkey.

And this is bread and butter sanctions evasion.

This is literally in the guidance on sanction evasion red flags.

Yeah, I told that owner, Pablo, that we now know where at least some of those sales are coming from.

And the answer...

is Russia.
