@AidanCTweets I also wasn't the one who originally found this; I believe Julie Rei was the one who discovered that Maia "Poet" was Maia Abbruzzese - credit to her for that.
I think I originally found out who "Zhenya" Abbruzzese was and that she's Evgenia Abbruzzese, based on legal filings.
@AidanCTweets In fact I got a takedown notice after I first tweeted Zhenya's email address that I found in the legal filings in our court case in Florida, where she worked with the DeSantis administration to remove transition treatment coverage from our state Medicaid:
@AidanCTweets That email address was from page 20. That's a public legal filing and it's evidence of a meeting she had with state employees doing government work. It's public business and part of an ongoing lawsuit by us against them.courtlistener.com/docket/6495313…
@AidanCTweets The email address indicated both a name "Zhenya" as well as "pdx" as indicating a likely location of Portland, Oregon, so I look for any Zhenya Abbruzzese in Portland. Zhenya is a Russian diminutive for Evgenia so I started looking for any Evgenia Abbruzzese, too.
@AidanCTweets Searching for the first part of her email address led to three hits for a matching username leaving reviews on a Fiverr page for a web designer; two included thumbnails of a template with design layout and color scheme consistent with SEGM up to that time .archive.ph/ibUAl
@AidanCTweets So that altogether strongly indicated that an Evgenia Abbruzzese (SEGM articles coauthor E. Abbruzzese) in Portland, Oregon, going by Zhenya as a common diminutive, was also involved in managing SEGM's website, and met with Florida AHCA to defund coverage of our treatment.
@AidanCTweets From there, that led to her public background as Zhenya Abbruzzese in companies like Cambia Health Solutions, her healthcare startups Enigma Health and then Muse for addressing "medically unexplained symptoms" and somatization disorder, and her own company J Curve Consulting.
@AidanCTweets Finding out that E. was for Evgenia Abbruzzese also led to her patent under that name for "systems and methods for somatization identification and treatment". It's a site and search term blocker to stop people from looking up their symptoms: patents.google.com/patent/US10431…
@AidanCTweets (See pp. 8-9: ) patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/eb/d3/19/45dec…
@AidanCTweets So altogether I hope everyone sees why I felt it was a priority, when SEGM members came to my state and actually took away coverage of our transition treatments, that we sue the state. And we obtained this evidence and made it public and found out that "E. Abbruzzese" is Zhenya.
