The investigation

LYANOV LLC posts Iowa / Nebraska AT&T recruiting with piece-rate or day-rate options, 50% advance available after site start, biweekly payout after close. The posting text is documented as nearly identical to similar ads from other operators in the same corridor, consistent with the template-recruiting pattern that recurs across this market. No specific adverse findings; the finding is the ambient-market-participation record.

Before you read

The Shadow Zone Investigation documents labor violations in U.S. wireless tower construction — including wage theft, undocumented-labor schemes, fraudulent safety certifications, child labor, and immigration coercion. 339 documented findings across 93 named subcontractors and 384 individuals. Anonymous investigation team.

Three editorial commitments:

  • Every finding carries a PROVEN, ALLEGED, or INFERRED label. The label is the editorial commitment, not decoration.
  • Russian-language source quotes are preserved verbatim, with English translations.
  • Three corruption allegations against named primes are framed as ALLEGED throughout. The corpus does not prove them. They are surfaced because named industry sources, separately, raised them. Every unproven allegation on this site is collected on the What Is Alleged — and Not Proven page.

Mistakes may exist. The corpus runs to ~30,000 messages over 5+ years; translations were AI-assisted across four independent analyses. Some errors likely remain. To report a factual error or dispute a finding's framing, see the corrections policy on the About page.
