What channel was the audio recording? We need to get deepfake specialists on this right away, the audio only is suspicious, and Russia has every reason to try and stop popular support

I'm starting to move towards it being legit, because I feel like 30 minutes is enough for someone to pipe up with a different story, but yeah, the initial evidence was shaky as hell.

FSB conducting mass raids and rounding up the family and friends of Wagner mercenaries. Game over.

True, but if the only source is Igor Sushko, that's almost guaranteed to be false at this point.

Even then it's only matter of time. Kremlins goons are gonna pay a visit to everyone in wagners command chain and everyone in Russian military who ever announced they were on wagners side. Not a very nice position to be in.

Only one who gets out scott free is Prigožin, but eventually he will accidentally fall out of a window.
