What the filings say the work is

A Virginia media firm has told the Justice Department it will work in the United States for LDRS Group LLC on behalf of the State of Israel. The firm is Olympic Media LLC, doing business as Starboard LLC. It registered under FARA on 2026-10-28 as registrant No. 7788.^[1][2]

The firm's chief executive, Ryan Patrick Coyne, filed a short form the same day. He listed the services he will provide to the foreign principal: audience development and panel construction; content production and distribution; optimization and analytics; surveying/polling and measurement; and final report, data delivery.^[3]

The short form says the services will be rendered on a part time basis. It describes his pay as "Salary: Not based solely on services rendered to the foreign principal(s)."^[3]

Who is named

The registration statement names Ryan Patrick Coyne as the responsible individual and lists him as CEO. It states: "Ryan Patrick Coyne owns 100% of the company." The index names him as the firm's only short-form registrant.^[2][1]

The registration statement describes the firm's regular business. It says Starboard LLC is engaged in strategic communications, creative strategy, and media production, including digital content, messaging campaigns, audience engagement strategies, and related distribution and analytics services.^[2]

The foreign principal is listed as LDRS Group LLC on behalf of the State of Israel, at One world Trade Center, Floor 65, New York, NY 10007. The country represented is ISRAEL. In Exhibit A, the nature of the foreign principal's business is given as "Advertising."^[4]

Coyne's short form also answers a question about political contributions made in the period before registration. It lists one: dated 10/02/2026, donor Ryan Patrick Coyne, to Bernie Moreno for Senate, by credit card, $ 7,000.00.^[3]

Why this matters

These filings show a U.S. firm preparing to produce and distribute content, build audiences, and run polling for a New York LLC that acts on behalf of the State of Israel. The short form says the goal is to promote the interests of the State of Israel in the United States. FARA makes this public. The forms state that every registration statement and short form filed under the Act is a public record open to public examination.^[3][4][2]

What is not known

The DOJ index for this registrant lists four filings: Exhibit AB, a short form, the registration statement, and Exhibit C. None of the filings given here states a contract amount or a payment figure from the foreign principal. None of them identifies specific content, campaigns, or audiences.^{[1][4][3][2][5]}
