Spokespeople for online reputation management companies in the two countries confirmed that they had been paid to write articles attempting to whitewash Trumps ties to Felix Sater, a Russian-born businessman who, with former Russian trade minister Tevfik Arif, collaborated with the Trump Organization on numerous real estate deals from New York to the former Soviet Union, the Daily Beast reports.
The campaign appears designed to influence Google search results pertaining to Trumps relationship with Sater, Arif, and the Bayrock Group, a New York real estate firm that collaborated with Trump on a series of real estate deals, and recruited Russian investors for potential Trump deals in Moscow.
Saterwho once had an office at New Yorks Trump Tower, Trump Organization business cards, and claims to have worked as a senior adviser to Trumphas recently emerged as a key figure in the federal investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

(13,526 posts)The Daily Beast previously reported that a Pakistani blogger had been paid to write an article for the Huffington Posts now-defunct contributor platform hailing the dismissal of the tax fraud case. That blogger, who went by the handle Waqas KH, said his client, whom he declined to name, had provided the text of the piece in full.
HuffPost is a prominent U.S. news source, but on more obscure platforms, used explicitly for search-engine optimization, over 50 other stories have popped up hyping the lawsuits dismissal and attempting to insulate Trump from controversy involving Sater and Bayrock. The articles were published over an eight-month period, from September 2017 through June 2018.
Certainly now that Trump is President of the United States, there is not likely to be any further implications for him in this case, declared a November article at a since-deleted website billing itself as a forum for a business development specialist. The article was written by Abhishek Chatterjee, who owns an Indian SEO business that offers to place articles on a network of 900 websites for $20 apiece.
