2022年以来ABC四角台的执行制片人马修·卡尼(Matthew Carney)在2025年最后一集后辞职, ABC声明他离开与正在调查的记者马哈茂德·法扎尔(Mahmood Fazal)无关。 Matthew Carney, executive producer of ABC’s Four Corners since 2022, has resigned after the show’s final 2025 episode, with the ABC stating his departure is unrelated to an ongoing investigation into reporter Mahmood Fazal. 法扎尔因共同主持由加密货币赌场 Vegastars 资助的播客而受到审查，其中包括赌博广告，并引发了对未公开付款的担忧。 Fazal is under scrutiny for co-hosting a podcast funded by cryptocurrency casino Vegastars, which included gambling ads and raised concerns over undisclosed payments. Carney最初批准了Fazal的参与,但在得知广告内容后撤回支持。 Carney initially approved Fazal’s involvement but withdrew support after learning of the ad content. ABC确认Fazal的外貌没有得到最后批准,并已与一家外部法律公司进行了调查。 The ABC confirmed Fazal’s appearance lacked final approval and has launched a probe with an external legal firm. 指控包括一笔13 000美元的现金付款和暗示威胁YouTuber的加密电文,尽管Fazal的律师声称资金是给机组人员的。 Allegations include a $13,000 cash payment and encrypted messages suggesting threats against a YouTuber, though Fazal’s lawyer claims funds were for crew. 4个角落的观众人数略有下降,在2024-25年降至929 000人,而其他ABC节目则有所增长。 Four Corners saw a slight drop in viewership to 929,000 in 2024–25, while other ABC programs grew. Carney是三次获得Walkley奖的获奖者,在继任者被提名之前,他将留任。 Carney, a three-time Walkley Award winner, will remain until a successor is named.
