As a condition of the sale, Moya stipulated that its founder, 80-year-old engineer Tomàs Baiget, would stay on as editor. (In 2023, Baiget publicly apologized for creating the website ArtiCulitos.com, on which he uploaded photographs of women’s butts, some of them taken without their consent.)

what?? lmao.

The engineer claims that he does not know Muhammad Haseeb and does not know if he is the owner. “In truth, no idea. I did see Muhammad’s name somewhere, but I don’t have the slightest idea what his position is,” he explains. “I vouch for the quality, ethics and good work, at least in my purview, which is Europe and the Americas.”

I see. It all tracks.
