In May 2024, various social media accounts reported that the stepson of Ukrainian businessman Victor Pinchuk paid more than €8 million to Casino de Madrid to settle the unpaid debt of the famous American writer. We’ve checked whether these statements are true. (Verification article first published by Provereno.Media)
The preroll and postroll of the video about Pinchuk Jr. are the same as those used by the European Times. However, [ here ] the style of presenting the information differs significantly. Authentic videos produced by the European Times (which can be found on the outlet’s YouTube channel) use a voice-over to narrate information, whereas the video about Pinchuk Jr. only use text subtitles laid over a sequence of photos and videos taken from open sources. And while they could use just subtitle, they have stated that whatever video attributed to them, if not found in their official Youtube channel or other official media as seen on their website, is false/fake.
There are no reports about Pinchuk Jr. and Casino de Madrid on The European Times website, its official accounts on YouTube, Instagram, [ more info ] Facebook, X, and other social networks. Besides, not a single credible Spanish media outlet has reported on the Ukrainian billionaire’s stepson settling Hemingway’s debt.
