It's designed to mislead readers into conflating the two Hunter Biden stories. [Hunter Typhoon Doc] = [Hunter laptop] is what they want readers to conclude. They even nudge people in that direction:

One month before a purported leak of files from Hunter Biden's laptop, a fake "intelligence" document about him went viral on the right-wing internet

it helped lay the groundwork among right-wing media for what would become a failed October surprise: a viral pile-on of conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden.

fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge

Uhhh... no, nobody gave a shit about this fake persona or their fake document.

Also ironic that they call it a "failed October surprise" since the same authors released an alarmist article on Oct. 22 saying Hunter Biden conspiracies were sweeping the internet and getting millions of shares.

Their fake persona, on the other hand, went nowhere:

The report itself was shared across Facebook and Twitter around 5,000 times, according to BuzzSumo, and more than 80 sites linked back to the blog, which was shared more than 25,000 times on Facebook and Twitter.

Wow, 30k shares? That's almost .001% of the population!
