Answer by Grok
Sergei Millian’s post replies to Roger Stone, who described working closely with Allison Guerriero, a security researcher and FBI whistleblower who exposed former counterintelligence official Charles McGonigal’s dealings with Russian oligarchs.
Guerriero, 52, was found dead at her Boynton Beach, Florida home hours after posting dozens of critical messages on X targeting the FBI and related figures; she had reported receiving threats due to her work.
Her cause of death remains undetermined pending the medical examiner’s report, with Stone citing her upbeat demeanor, devout Catholicism, and threats as reasons to question any suicide ruling.
