Kristina Puzyreva, a Russian-Canadian blogger, pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy in a federal court in Brooklyn for her involvement in a scheme to ship components used in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and guided missile systems to sanctioned entities. The operation involved 298 shipments of restricted technology, valued at $7 million, from the U.S. to Russia, intended for use in missiles and drones. In related news, a South Philadelphia YouTuber faced nearly $200,000 in fines for violating Federal Aviation Administration regulations by flying drones recklessly around the city. Additionally, a social media account known as BumsNDrones, which published aggressive drone footage of homeless individuals, was banned by two major social media platforms.
