Ukrainian #Jewish #mma fighter tortured in #Ukraine.
Matched tattoos on his knee to confirm it is Maxim Ryndovskiy. #OSINT #Ryndovskiy
Open source info = 2 versions: 1/ He was Pro-Chechen visiting DPR regularly 2/ Far right Ukrainians (Nazi supporters)
No solid intel yet.
#Facebook ID:100026417802478, so far, no Pro-Russian or pro-Chechen views have been found which would corroborate Version 1. His FB profile has friends in Ukraine and Russia, mostly female, no Chechens, no open source Pro-Russian propaganda. #OSINT#Ukraine#Ryndovskiy
His #Twitch account, he can be seen playing war games twitch.tv/videos/1296233…
His videos: twitch.tv/fck_fshn/videos
*Note the Star of David on his logo, the only thing found so far in regards to Pro-Russian or Pro-Chechen views is nothing, just a love for #judaism and his roots.
This is quite some find, and very surprising so few analysts/Investigative journalists didn't latch on to that, now have his #twitter account, just look at his last tweet. Saving this with date and time. #OSINT#Ukraine#Fck_fshn#Ryndovskyi#Рындовский
Spanish newspaper, @marca (over 5 Million followers here), wrote an article saying that a Neo-Nazi group in Ukraine claimed responsibility for the "execution" (He is dead?) The article does not give details on how they got this information: marca.com/en/more-sports…
Deleted Instagram found: instagram.com/fck_fshn, information found up until recently, this account may be of importance, maybe something is in there that proves something. Second Instagram still live: Instagram ID

Accessed over 6K past #instagram stories from his deleted Instagram account: ID "2033738993 (/fck_fshn), not a single one of his stories mentions Russia, pro Russia views, propaganda or politics.
Here is proof of access of all stories including screenshot from his phone.
In regards to the Russia shirt that has been mentioned claiming that's the proof of his role as a Russian Propaganda agent, it's a shirt that was traced back to his MMA Gym (Olymp Team), and photos are on the Olymp Team website.T-shirt made by Pitbull West Coast @pitbullsports
More Background:
A old Facebook post from 2018 was found here: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=50…, he seems to be accusing the subject of working for a Russian security company, but nothing is offered to back up the statement, the individual who posted: facebook.com/mikhail.kovalc…
The subject never set foot in #Russia according to some of the locations of his Instagram posts.
This OSINT investigation will soon be finishing, the last posts will be about 4 individuals who are believed to be linked to the torture of Maxim Ryndovskyi. Tracked some down using various OSINT Tools & Techniques. #МаксимРындовский#OSINT#warcrimes#Ukraine
4 Subjects (S1/S2/S3/S4): S1 and S2 were present during the torture of Maxim Ryndovskiy, S3 + S4 are not confirmed but could possibly be linked (still checking) See below S1👇 #OSINT#warcrimes#torture#Ryndovskyi

In regards to S3 (Subject 3) and S4 (Subject 4), still investigating, nothing can be posted without being certain, OSINT Analysis is also about remaining ethical at all times.
Instagram account that was amongst the very first to post a photo of Maxim Ryndovskyi. Used OCR Optical Character Recognition for the translation.
1/6: Using #OSINT to geolocate 📌 #CelineDion in #Paris2024 .
In the photo she shared, we can see a book "Horses of Qatar", *first clue which possibly indicates that she may have stayed in a hotel owned by #Qatar 🇶🇦. #France #Geoint #Paris #OlympicGames
2/6: Searching through prestigious #Paris Hotels owned by Qatar, I found the Hotel Royal Monceau Raffles, which belongs to Katar Hospitality:
#OSINT #Qatar #France #OlympicGames #Paris2024 katarahospitality.com
3/6: Using @googlemaps, no buildings across from the Hotel match 😭. But why would a #VIP want to be vulnerable with a front view? I got a full match using @Apple Maps by searching the back. *Google Earth Pro is good but heavy & CPU Intensive. #OSINT #GEOINT #Paris2024
Some information about Qatari🇶🇦 forces patrolling the streets of #Paris #France for the #Paris2024 #OlympicGames
If you are attending, you may notice Qatari forces are present.
They patrol on foot and in light armoured vehicles.
It is the Qatar Internal Security Force (ISF) called #Lekhwiya لخويا.
In Qatar they are considered an elite force tasked with Counter-Terrorism, VIP Protection, riot control and more…
Their role is to help France secure the Olympic Games, there is also rumor that they are providing some equipment to French forces such as night vision but this has not been 100% confirmed.
#OSINT #Qatar
Thread 🧵 2/4:
You will see their emblem/logo below, they are recognizable due to their blue camo DPM uniforms and a light blue beret with the Lekhwiya pin on. #Paris2024 #OlympicGames #Qatar #OSINT
Thread 🧵 3/4:
They came with a few Raider LTAV ( Light Armored Tactical Vehicle) made in Qatar 🇶🇦 by Stark Motors Qatar:
The Raider LTAV is built on a Dodge Ram 5500 chassis, 4x4, 6,7L, automatic.
10 Pax seating capacity. (2+8)
The Raider is designed to provide protection from a variety of small arms, explosives and IED threats.
The sides and back are armored to level FB7 (7,62 x 51 FMJ / Pointed Bullet Steel hard core)
⚠️ A fake French Ministry of Armed Forces website was taken down today.
was claiming to be recruiting 200,000 French people to go to fight in #Ukraine.
It also stated on the website:
*LES IMMIGRÉS SONT PRIORITAIRES (immigrants will be given priority)
Probable Motivations:
➡️ To spread #disinformation on #France sending troops to Ukraine soon
➡️ To cause general panic amongst the French population
➡️ To get the personal data of the French people who used the contact form. (salaries were put very high in order to maximise requests to join the army)
➡️ To track visitor numbers to see how many people are interested in the war in Ukraine.
➡️ To gain intelligence on the number of people interested and willing to go to fight in Ukraine

@Highfivelol Don't know if this had been found yet. #jordonwalker is on a photo of the The Harvard Urologic Surgery Residency Program at Massachusetts General. (top right) #OSINT#Pfizer
Seems he travelled to Europe and Budapest before Covid broke out.
🧵Thread 1/6: Many accounts (including OSINT people) across social media are still spreading this photo claiming the French Gov purchased thousands of electric vehicles left to rot. The below 👇 was posted an hour ago on LinkedIn. Let’s use some #OSINT to check it out.
🧵Thread 2/6: Let’s look closely at the photo. We can see a watermark: @greg_abandoned.
🧵Thread 3/6: Finding @greg_abandoned on Instagram wasn’t too difficult 😁, zooming in on plates, we can see the plates look nothing like French plates, the writing is in Chinese🇨🇳 : instagram.com/p/CS22ZlDJIn4/
