Even well-intentioned fakes can go wrong. Remember the White Helmets' mannequin challenge? It's still being used to argue that they always fake their videos.
Hardly an interpretation that's made in good faith, but it's out there.

Ill-intentioned fakes come back to haunt the perpetrator even more. Remember the Russian MoD's edited satellite pics "proving" that Ukraine shot down MH17, as exposed by @bellingcat and @ArmsControlWonk?

Arkadiy Babchenko is alive. This is mind-boggling
Even within the SBU this was a highly compartmentalized operation, a couple of people only knew details .
Splainer: SBU/ Babchenko say RU services recruited a Ukrainian citizen to hire a contract killer. He hired a military veteran for 30k. The vet informed Ukraine's secret service & collaborated to fool "broker" that murder went thru. This permitted SIGNIT to track source of order.
