Fake sources
[edit]I removed two articles by Lin Nguyen and one by Raphael Badani, as these are not real journalists. See https://www.thedailybeast.com/right-wing-media-outlets-duped-by-a-middle-east-propaganda-campaign. Other sources need checking, Erbey seems to be a beneficiary of their faking.

- I've almost totally rewritten the article - Erbey seems to be primarily notable as the disgraced founder and former head of the board at Ocwen Financial Corporation (see the tone of just about any of the sources I added to get the gist of it.) Some of the sources already in the article mentioned Ocwen, but it was somehow studiously left out of the article, which gives me the impression that this article may have been created by someone with a conflict of interest trying to rehabilitate Erbey's reputation. --Aquillion (talk) 03:13, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
