Emerging story
Social media users have shared an image purported to be the recent American Money magazine cover, which features Zelenskyy riding a cash horse.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it to be satirical. The alleged cover was not shared by any credible sources, and the image does not appear on the magazine's website.
The Claim Is Satirical
A Google Image Reverse Seach revealed that the alleged Money magazine cover was posted on June 23, 2022, to an Instagram account that describes itself as a meme, news, and comedy provider.
The same Instagram account has also posted another Money magazine cover featuring Zelenskyy’s portrait, with a headline: “How Zelenskyy steams” and a subheadline reading: “Inside the biggest money-laundering scheme in modern history.”
Doctored Money Magazine Cover
Based on the findings, the alleged Money magazine cover is an altered image of the American Money magazine of December 2016 featuring comedian John Oliver. The authentic cover was manipulated to add Zelenskyy’s face and the headlines: “Comedian and Democracy Crusader” and “Learn How He’s Laundering American Taxpayer Dollars And Cuckholding With Klaus Schwab.”
