He was at the center of the 2019 podcast, “The Shrink Next Door,” which exposed the doctor as an opportunist who convinced clients to deed their homes and leave their fortunes to him. He was also accused of taking over a patient’s Hamptons home and passing it off as his own.

 

It sparked a two-year investigation that led to his license getting yanked last week. The Murray Hill doctor, 70, was found guilty of 16 charges of professional misconduct, including negligence, moral unfitness, fraudulent practice and exercising undue influence.

 

Not to bright. That is why they are easily manipulated and controlled.

Sabmyk Creator Says QAnon-Style Conspiracy Is Just a Game

 

A German artist has admitted that he set up a QAnon-inspired online disinformation network as an art project, telling Newsweek it was "a game."

 

When the Sabmyk network emerged on social media platforms last December, it shared posts promoting a messianic mythology that linked its eponymous savior to the Bible's Noah and the so-called Atlantean sword of Shahnawaz.

 

The mythology around Sabmyk played into well-established conspiracy theory tropes, claiming the savior would lead an "awakening" against a cabal of celebrities, scientists, bankers and company owners manipulating the general public.

 

The network grew rapidly, particularly on the encrypted messaging app Telegram. By March, Newsweek found a combined following of 1 million subscribers across 140 Telegram channels.

 

Many of the channels seemed designed to appeal to QAnon believers, with names such as WWG1WGA—an abbreviation for the QAnon rallying cry "Where we go one, we go all—Q Donald Trump and Q Speaking. These three were among the most popular, with thousands of followers between them.

 

Many of the posts on these channels would be copied from QAnon accounts and pasted alongside messages about the Sabmyk mythology, identified by a double XX symbol.

 

Newsweek found posts that promoted anti-Semitic and vaccine conspiracy theories. One of the many false claims was that Baron Rothschild drew up a contract with Hitler so the Nazi dictator would persecute Jews in order to drive immigration to Israel. This post was viewed by more than 250,000 people.

On April 3, a 76-page document was posted to numerous Sabmyk channels. In it, Berlin-based artist Sebastian Bieniek admitted that he had set up the network and described the project as "great art."

 

The document was structured as a diary and the entry dated March 23 was called "Fake or Art." It read: "Art depicts reality in the form of an obvious (because it is impossible) fake. The landscape painted on is a fake, but it feels realistic, then it's big art.

 

"Judged by the fact that I have convinced a lot of people within a relatively short time, it is great art."

 

Newsweek contacted Bieniek for comment, asking whether he thought it was dangerous to use anti-Semitic posts lifted from QAnon in this way.

 

In a response emailed to Newsweek, translated from German by Google, he denied any anti-Semitic intention.

 

Bieniek said: "I wanted to clarify again that I did not make a statement that corresponds to any old or new anti-Semitic narrative or statement, but only used characters from the QAnon pool and recombined them."

 

The artist added: "If you were to take scenes from Indiana Jones out of context and put them in a different context, you could also claim that Steven Spielberg is an anti-Semite. Yes, if you work according to the alienation principle, then you can turn anyone into an anti-Semite, but you would be lying and you would be falsifying.
