There's an 8-minute promo for the doc, which appears to be an ad for the book "Blood & Oil", amazon.com/Blood-Oil-Mohammed-Salmans-Ruthless/dp/B08H2JKTV9/

LMAO. Sigh
Factoid: One of VICE's original (ex-)cofounders later was a bearded hipster before it was cool and was one of the white nationalists who founded The Proud Boys.
Post Brooklyn move, the other hipster founders either got high off their own supply and/or mentally checked out, and failed at delivering quality journalism consistently. Then Bill Mahar exited, they lost HBO, and everything went down the drain.
Another tidbit I recall second-hand was their apparent unreasonable legal documents to speak to a potential source. "You want [person] to sign a lengthy NDA just to have a chat?"
Startups die when they cease to be businesses by routinely disappointing customers, over-expanding, or failing to monetize.
