The investigation

Rulles INC is a separate entity from Rullex / Rulkex. The recruiting finding is distinctive for the specific language used. The Rulles INC ad includes the phrase "Help obtaining work authorization" — a recruiting offer that is inherently ambiguous between legitimate visa sponsorship (such as H-2B) and informal coaching that would constitute unauthorized immigration-law practice. A subcontractor is not licensed to practice immigration law; offering workers "help with work authorization" outside a formal visa-sponsorship program is not a service the subcontractor can legally provide without third-party attorney involvement. Whether Rulles INC's "help" is a genuine sponsorship offer or the fabrication-tier variant cannot be determined from the public ad alone. The language is preserved here as the finding.

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.
