YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTenet Media founder Lauren Chen was never charged with a crime – but the government is still holding her bank accounts after a 2024 FBI raid on her home and accusations by Attorney General Merrick Garland that Chen and her media company were working on behalf of Russian misinformation agents.
"They did everything they could to ruin our lives extrajudicially," Lauren tells Dr. Drew. "We never went to court. We were never charged with anything."
What's even worseby continuing to hold Chen and the company's assets, the government has left Lauren with no way to hire an attorney who can defend her. She's launched to raise funds to fight the accusations
