Putin supporter, Simeon Boikov aka Aussie Cossack, got into a dispute with A Current Affair Journalist Steve Marshall and ended up offering him $1k. Boikov took to YouTube to upload footage of the encounter he had with Marshall and share his side of events, well before A Current Affair had had time to edit and air the footage. Boikov said: ‘They had a camera crew following me everywhere … and we had a little bit of a run-in, and I ripped into them. Boikov can then be seen shoving $1,000 in cash in Mr Marshall’s pocket, which is at the very least a lucrative tactic. Almost like A Current Affair episode, except this time it was told from a brand new perspective.
