OnlyFans owner and smut kingpin Leonid Radvinsky is secretly the biggest donor to the pro-Israel lobbying group the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), according to leaked documents obtained by The Lever.
The owner of Only Fans allegedly donated $11 million to AIPAC (pro-Israel lobby). He denied donating. When confronted with internal documents showing the wire transfer he stopped responding… LOL.
Just know your Only Fans cooming is helping fund the groups that aid in lobbying… https://t.co/7dQzHOvBnS pic.twitter.com/AOn5ZyCTss

From The Lever, "Inside The Israel Lobby's New $90 Million War Chest":
Three individuals named on the list denied being donors. That includes Leonid Radvinsky, the billionaire owner of OnlyFans, a hugely popular internet platform dominated by sex workers. According to the internal documents, Radvinsky and his wife, Katie Chudnovsky, pledged $11 million to AIPAC — the most of anyone listed.
"I didn't donate or pledge $11M," Radvinsky wrote in an email, and "this appl[ies] to me / my foundation / my family." When The Lever asked Radvinsky why AIPAC had him listed as a donor, Radvinsky replied, "I don't know." When The Lever asked Radvinsky to comment on internal AIPAC documentation showing a wire transfer from his wife to AIPAC, Radvinsky stopped responding.
[...] One pledge was an outlier at $11 million. The pledge was credited to "Mr. Anonymous Anonymous" and Katie Chudnovsky. The pledge contained personal contact information and a short bio that identified "Mr. Anonymous Anonymous" as Leonid Radvinsky, the "elusive" owner of the content platform OnlyFans. In the March 19, 2009, edition of the Chicago Tribune, Chudnovsky posted an announcement of her wedding to Radvinsky, writing "we will work hard to enrich our marriage and to live life with dignity and dedication."

OnlyFans Owner Pledged $11 Million to Israel Lobby: Report
OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky denies pledging millions to the pro-Israel lobby, despite appearing on internal AIPAC documents obtained by The Lever
BY NIKKI MCCANN RAMIREZ FEBRUARY 1, 2024
OnlyFans’ billionaire owner, Leonid Radvinsky, and his wife reportedly pledged $11 million to the powerhouse pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, last year, according to an internal donor list obtained by The Lever. Radvinsky has denied making or pledging the donation.
According to confidential internal documents reviewed by The Lever, AIPAC reported a massive $90 million fundraising haul in the month following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack against Israel. One contribution stood out: an $11 million pledge from a “Mr. Anonymous Anonymous” and Katie Chudnovsky, the largest listed contribution in the documents.
The Lever was able to confirm that the personal information listed alongside the donation identified “Mr. Anonymous Anonymous” as Radvinsky, who owns the subscription blogging platform OnlyFans, which is generally associated with adult content. While some of those named in the documents confirmed that they had contributed to AIPAC, Radvinsky and two others denied being donors.
“I didn’t donate or pledge $11M,” Radvinsky told The Lever, adding that the statement “appl[ies] to me / my foundation / my family.” The OnlyFans owner declined to provide an explanation as to why he and his wife appeared to be donors or address documentation showing a wire transfer from Chudnovsky to the organization.
Radvinsky did not immediately respond to additional questions from Rolling Stone.
Founded in 1963, AIPAC is the most powerful pro-Israel lobbying outfit in the United States. While it has long held influence over U.S. government policy towards Israel, in 2022 the group announced that it would be launching an affiliated super PAC that would directly participate in elections. In its short existence, the super PAC has dumped tens of millions of dollars into its efforts to defeat progressive candidates critical of Israel.
