Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Brazen Weekender! I'm Charlie, a producer at Project Brazen, and this is the newsletter where I share what the team has been watching, reading and listening to. Coming up this week: a bumper 14,000 word Wired long-read into America's scariest young cult, Starlink's small role in Trump's Ukraine minerals grab, a tip-off about Vanuatu's "golden passport" holders, and a brand new podcast about Manchester City football club's financial rule-bending. Let's get into it!

This is a post for subscribers to Whale Hunting, a weekly newsletter and podcast delving into the hidden worlds of wealth and power from the team at Project Brazen.
