Bellingcat investigation links Mark Resan to at least two deepfake porn sites, RefacePorn and DeepfakePorn, which use AI to create non-consensual explicit images. Resan, associated with multiple companies and payment processors, appears to have generated over $331,000 from these sites, which have now gone offline. The investigation highlights the proliferation and harm of deepfake pornography, the challenges in regulation, and Resan's potential role in this industry.
