GNN: Nick Rekieta, a YouTube Lawyer and alcoholic who is married with children, has been catfished over the last year and a half by a man older than himself.
A Thread🧵 about MANdy...
MANdy is a well known member of Rekieta's Locals, which is a Patreon-style site owned by Rumble, where members can post and participate.
The night MANdy posted "her" nudes to Locals about 7 months ago, Rekieta, a married man, professed his love.

There's a lot more about MANdy including pretending to be a Hooters waitress, mechanic, non-practicing lawyer gamer-girl who would post blurry obscured photos that couldn't be reverse-image searched.

During a Locals exclusive stream on October 26, 2022 - Rekieta encouraged MANdy to post a topless photo, which Rekieta then deleted so it wouldn't spread.
However, MANdy would not be denied his attention, and posted other versions of the photo elsewhere.
It was discovered Locals does not wipe all EXIF data, revealing MANdy's photos were taken with a Nokia 2 V from Verizon.
Also, the distance from the lens to the object in the photo was .52 inches - meaning MANdy took a photo of an image on a computer screen for "her" photos.
MANdy also lowered the resolution of other stolen photos, however some were able to be traced back to the original source.
This one was stolen from Imgur and Reddit from August 2016.

MANdy would also send superchats with photos of "herself" working as a mechanic.
But this was in fact just a scaled down blurry stock photos.
Stealing multiple identities is a common tactic among cat-fishers, you can see examples of this in another GNN thread about "Maya Chavez" a fat old man pretending to be a 22 year old Asian girl.
Other interesting things about MANdy were found, including a 16 year old Steam Profile.
As of July 2015 "she" accumulated 3119 hours of playtime in Team Fortress 2. That is an average of nearly 70 minutes of gameplay every single day for over 7 years.
All of this alone would be enough to accuse with confidence anyone of being a catfish.
However, MANdy was not going to back down after nearly 2 decades of hard work, and would continue to taunt KiwiFarmers who called him out.
MANdy got even bolder, this time, calling into another show Christmas morning to Good Lawgic, a friend of Rekieta, using what might be a voice changer, but you can tell MANdy's voice is not that of a natural born woman.

Unfortunately for MANdy, Good Lawgic is a boomer and showed his call history on air, including MANdy's phone number.
The image is censored, but you can view it and the other revealing information on KiwiFarms: kiwifarms.hk/threads/nichol…
The phone number revealed the number to be owned by a man named Daniel Paul Harris, over 40 years old, living in Arlington Texas.
It was also discovered that the name MANdy and the last name he used for her, was a stolen identity. It's unknown if the real MANdy was aware.
The final death knell for MANdy's persona, after Daniel's identity was revealed, it was discovered he liked to mix in real life events into his larp.
On August 23rd 2023, MANdy sent a super chat to Rekieta saying "she" was a sobbing wreck after his "sister in law" died.
However, MANdy made another huge mistake, by posting a photo of "her" father to locals.
The man is Randy Smith, the father of Daniel Paul Harris, whose phone number was shown by Good Lawgic.
Randy Smith died August 23, 2023, the same night of MANdy's superchat.
