Two Russians pretending to be Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tricked Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell into a phony TV interview, the bank confirmed Thursday. Comedy duo “Vovan and Lexus” conducted the hoax meeting in January under, what a Fed spokesperson claims, were false pretenses.
“Chair Powell participated in a conversation in January with someone who misrepresented himself as the Ukrainian president,” the spokesperson told The Hill. “It was a friendly conversation and took place in a context of our standing in support of the Ukrainian people in this challenging time. No sensitive or confidential information was discussed.” Clips of the interview circulating on social media show Powell discussing basic information about the American economy’s current challenges.
