==Stratfor & Wikileaks==
Mr. Markovski was linked to Stratfor, a global intelligence entity that has been called the "shadow CIA", in February, 2012, by Wikileaks. He is named in some of the 5 million emails that were acquired by the hacker consortium, Anonymous, and given to Wikileaks. One contact he made within the group questioned who this "shady Bulgarian was", another responded "“hooked into the Bulgairan OC, but nothing too shady bout that since he is Bulgarian”. He was also described as a “Bulgarian billionaire telecommunications oligarch” and “kinda a strange guy, but very powerful in business circles.”
It seems that the overall documented relationship was largely benign and that he did not seem to be integrated into the organization. Furthermore, prominent publications have noted that Stratfor is largely a joke and does not wield the strategic power that it claims.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/icann-staffer-linked-to-hacked-intelligence-firm/ ICANN Staffer Linked to Hacked Intelligence Firm, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
