Coronavirus? The election? or just a young heir wanting to get an investment back? According to a few sources, Zuade Kaufman is the daughter of philanthropists Gladys Kaufman & Donald Kaufman (a former business partner of billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad). Neither one of her parents' Wikipedia articles mentions Zuade. Strange, that. (§)

Truthdig has apparently been shut down for the count, or at least until after the election. (The grayed titles are less directly related.)

I'd looked at Truthdig before and usually went "meh". It started out with a bang but slowly became more tedious and non-topical, dependent on republications of AP or other content. I suspected it was due to the management squabbling.

As for why Zuade Kaufman doesn't "deserve" a BLP, your guess is as good as anyone's. There were no articles, AFDs, arguments, attempts to silence anyone, banninations, etc. Nothing.

Damn good question:
