In July 2023, Fortune reported that Austin Russell is attempting to acquire 82 percent of the company.[8] Neither Forbes nor Integrated Whale Media Investments have confirmed the report.[9][10] The transaction attracted scrutiny by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. Russell denied reports that Russian businessman Magomed Musaev is involved in the transaction.[11]
