What's up with people calling Bellingcat a CIA front?

Why do people call Bellingcat a front for the CIA?

I'm a big fan of Behind the Bastards by Cool Zone Media and hosted by Robert Evans.

Whenever I cite something from that podcast or mention it, I will occasionally get told that Robert is a cia asset cause he worked for bellingcat.

What's the story there? I thought bellingcat was a journalist collective, and it makes sense that Robert Evans, a journalist, would work there.

So what's the story of this CIA connection? Why do people accuse bellingcat of being a CIA front?
