I would be all for banning submissions from zerohedge.com outright. It's just noise that makes it harder for me to skim headlines for actual content.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I feel the same way about Vice. Its not news, its entertainment. And when you can't disambiguate the two, its fucking dangerous.

Thirded. ZeroHedge is full of conspiracy theories about the banks, Fed, EU, and the Western World in general. On the other hand, whatever Russia or China does, especially militarily, is great and shows good leadership. Even this article starts by accusing the Fed multiple times of not noticing the fraudulent wire transfers, when in fact towards the end they say that the feds stopped 90% of the fraudulent transfers an…

If the funds were sent to casinos, shouldn't the casinos have logs of what the money was used for?
unlikely. The best way to legally launder money is to use a casino. You bring in your dirty money, exchange it for chips. Then sit on your chips for a week, maybe a month, then go back and cash out your chips for clean money. Meanwhile, all the cash you moved through the casino is now scattered to some 50-100 different banks as it gets deposited in their daily drops and then transferred as necessary between the banks…

But if you read the articles, you'll see that ZH has a very favorable opinion of China, especially when it provokes the US, like the current situation in the Spratly islands
However Russia, I never ever saw a bad article about them, or especially about Vlad, which is the current ZH hero.
At the time, 10 years ago, we didn't even have ability to parse or OCR the images. I was really disappointed in how low tech this was, and how easy it would have been to make it better.
Perhaps I only saw a piece of it, and it did have more going on. But I always thought "what's preventing someone from faxing in a false trade?" We would execute any trade that got faxed in if the letter head and account numbers looked normal.

But I don't understand something. You showed up with lets say $50k at the casino, you departed with the same $50k. If you'll be investigated, you still can't justify the money you walked in with.
