Can't emphasize enough how important this story by @dfriedman33 is. At the time, Bannon was charged w fraud in the We Build the Wall scam & Guo's companies were being investigated by the SEC for an illegal investment scheme that raised almost $500M... motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
Taken from a GTV Media broadcast: Xianhong Zhang, Atlantic Trading LLC fka Himalaya Boston Mayflower LLC, Qidong Xia, NY MOS Himalaya LLC & Yinying Wang, one of the hosts of the June 4 NFSC celebration....
Friedman reported that a "Guo-controlled" Illinois company transferred $100k to Lin Wood's foundation. Possible it was Maywind Trading LLC, registered to Jian Peng...
Jian Peng also registered Aeon Capital LLC, an "investment and holding" firm in AZ in Nov 2020...
Freidman referred to Guo's personal assistant directing payments to rally vendors. The assistant is probably Yanping Wang pictured here. She is also listed as a registered agent/officer on three, possibly four NYS companies...
Yangping Wang aka Yvette Wang is quoted in this Oct 2020 story about Guo's Sherry-Netherland penthouse & is described as Guo's representative... wsj.com/articles/exile…
Dan Friedman confirms it was Yvette Wang who, as Guo's personal assistant, authorized payments to Nov 2020 rally vendors...
Yangping (Yvette) Wang is CEO of GFashion Media Group, Inc. & Anthony DiBattista is CEO. GFashion Media Group was first registered in DE in May 2020. G Fashion US Operations Inc. was registered in DE in Oct 2020...
Per his LinkedIn profile, Anthony DiBattista was hired by Guo in June 2020. He's since been named as president & treasurer of HCHK Technologies, Inc & HCHK Property Management, Inc....
Per Open Corporates, HCHK Property Management & HCHK Technologies are registered in a # of different states. Guessing "HC" stands for H Coin & "HK" could be Hong Kong....
HCHK Holdco I, LLC is almost surely related to the other HCHK companies since they were all registered in DE bet April 29 & Aug 31 2021...
Just found the HCHK Technologies, Inc. LinkedIn profile. 7 of the 10 employees are based in NYC, one in Detroit, one in Washington state & one in Amman Jordan. Last Thanksgiving, the company held a parade viewing party! ...
I don't know if it's intentional on Guo's part but no one on his financial management team that I've identified to date are CPAs & they are, what I would consider, lightweights: Max Krasner, Anthony DiBattista, Alex Hadjicharalambous & Michael Baranowitz...
While Alex H.'s LinkedIn profile lists his last two positions as confidential, the details are available on Signal Hire. Bit of trivia-Alex worked for David Monn,, an event planner, when Monn was paid $4M for a Trump Inaugural event...
In the Rule of Law Foundation/Society 2020 990s, Michael Baranowitz is listed as the person who possesses the books & records. Per LinkedIn, Baranowitz was hired by Guo in Jan 2021 as director of finance for the pair of not-for-profits...
I would think Baranowitz would be able to answer questions about who ROLF/S purchased $3M in PPE from in 2020 & who it donated the PPE to, among other questions. He surely could answer questions about revenue & expenditures in 2021...
On a more personal note, Mr. Baranowitz is marrying Jennifer Lu in August per Zola...
Then again, Yvette Wang or Max Krasner can probably answer questions about the PPE purchase& donated by the ROLF/S. Here they are w the NYPD. Don't know who the man on the left is though...
Meant the man on the right who I've since identified as lawyer, Daniel Podhaskie. Wang, Krasner & Podhaskie comprised the GTV Media executive team while Guo's illegal investment scheme was ongoing...
Per LinkedIn, Daniel Podhaskie no longer works for Guo unless Guo is involved in any way in his new investment ventures...
Interesting. The NYS Workers Compensation Board fined the Rule of Law Foundation Iii $17.5k for failure to carry insurance bet Sept 2020-Sept 2021. The foundation has comp insurance now per the Board's website....
Neither the Rule of Law Foundation or Society reported having employees in the 2022 990s although each entity had a line item, "Payroll expenses" of $34,873 each...
Just checked & the Rule of Law Society has similar workers comp coverage, beginning Sept 2021. So both Rule of Law entities had employees last year & this year...
There's link bet Gettr, HCHK Technologies & the Rule of Law entities, the extent of which I don't think has been fully disclosed. When Gettr was launched last July, Jason Miller told the Daily Beast that Guo's "family" foundation provided early funding... thedailybeast.com/trumpworld-app…
I haven't found any evidence Guo has a family foundation & my guess is the Getter funding came from one of both of the Rule of Law entities. If it did, that should be disclosed in the 2021 990s due on Nov 15 2022...
Gettr's legal name is Gettr USA, Inc. per the website. Gettr USA, Inc. was registered in Delaware on July 13 2020 while Jason Miller was either working for the WH or the Trump campaign...
Gettr had workers comp policies in place in NYS in July 2021 but only registered as a corporation in Nov 2021...
I've been told but haven't confirmed HCHK Technologies is actually operating Gettr. HCHK Technologies has had a NYS workers comp policy since July 2021, same month Gettr obtained coverage....
HCHK Property Management obtained NYS workers comp coverage in March 2022. I have no idea what the business purpose of the company is but, as noted above, it's registered in a # of states including FL...
We know Jason Miller maintains a relationship w Guo since he attended the celebration of the second anniversary of NFSC at 3 Columbus Circle 20th FL on June 4....
One Gettr employee my followers will recognize is Christianné L. Allen, Rudy G's former communications director. Per LinkedIn...
I don't remember seeing her name before but Jason Miller's deputy, Kingsley Cortes, was an executive assistant w the Trump campaign from June 2020 to Jan 2021. Per LinkedIn...
Robin Mokhtar, CPA, is Getter CFO. Mohktar is also a chartered global management accountant. Per LinkedIn...
Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch? At Gettr there is! That's one of the perks that comes w the senior accountant positon listed on the site along w a bunch of tech jobs. Thinking of applying ;-)... about.gettr.com/career
I've been told Gettr operates out of the same offices as Guo's other businesses at the 3 Columbus Circle, 20th FL address but haven't been able to confirm it...
Guo's family office, Golden Spring (New York) Ltd has a spotty record re workers compensation insurance...
GTV Media Group Inc & GTV Media Group LLC workers comp coverage....
GFashion LLC & GFashion Media Group Inc workers comp coverage...
Gettr's Chief Technology Officer Zhuoer Joel Wang's LinkedIn profile. Will follow up later but wanted to note one database lists Mr Wang as living in a luxury Manhattan condo owned by Xiaoshan Ren, a Carnegie Hall trustee. ???...
I believe this is Joe Wang as he's known on Getter...
I suppose it's possible Xiaoshan S Ren has a business relationship w Zhuoer Joel "Joe" Wang. Possibly a startup in China? Her LinkedIn profile...
More on Zhuoer "Joe" Wang's startup, Nebulas, based in China. (I have no idea what a blockchain might be so don't ask).... blockdata.tech/profiles/nebul…
Possible Zhuoer "Joe" Wang is a relative of Xiaoshan Ren which would explain why he could be living in her luxury condo.

Switching gears, here's a list of some entities associated w Guo's Himalaya Exchange. #3 is one of Qidong Xia's companies (see first tweet above). #21 is a company registered to Ling Gu...

Ling Wu registered two companies to a Bronxville address, Love Miles For Zisun Inc & Love Miles Foundation, a not-for-profit not registered w the IRS...
MOS Himalaya Foundation Inc was registered in June 2021 to a Regus virtual office address in Manhasset near Qidong Xia's residence in Great Neck...
Qidong Xia's company, Mountains of Spices LLC, as reported by @WillBredderman, filed a complaint against Lihong Wei Lafranz in AZ last Sept. alleging Lafrenz diverted funds intended for a loan to pay off investors... thedailybeast.com/the-messy-mone…
Lihong Wei Lafrenz, who was still on the Rule of Law Society IV board as of Nov 2021, had already received a letter from the SEC dated July 2021, requesting documents related to Guo's illegal $500M investment scheme...
Time out: I figured out why I couldn't find a corp registration for Chainnov Inc as noted above. The name was changed to Gettr USA Inc per the Delaware i.d. number...
Per Buzzfile & Manta, Chainnov Inc was registered to an address on Bryn Glen Way in San Diego. Per BlockShopper, the property was purchased by Zhuoer & Lu Lu Wang in 2017...
Per the San Diego County Assessor, the property was sold in June 2017 but damned if I'm going to spend $14.95 to verify who the purchaser was...
If the info from Buzzfile & BlockShopper is accurate, it appears Getter CTO Zhuoer Joel Wang aka Joe Wang registered Gettr USA, Inc fka Chainnov Inc in Delaware in July 2020...
It also suggests the Gettr platform was developed in China where Joe Wang was working before returning to the US some time in 2019 or 2020...
(A public database confirms the Wangs purchased the San Diego property in June 2017 for $730k & took out a $564k mortgage.)
Per LinkedIn, Joe Wang worked for Nebulas .IO bet May 2018 & April 2020. Nebulas IO USA Inc. was registered in Feb 2018 in DE. Since then, two other companies w "Nebulas" in their names were registered in DE....
This demonstration by GTV "investors" at the SEC in April 2021 shows far Guo will go to blame the CCP for his problems. David Vincent Bobb, the Christian film maker & GTV "investor", at 8:30. Was told he works for MOS..
Speaking of Guo & DC, the second entry on the Himalaya Exchange list I posted above is Himalaya Washington DC, a fictitious name for Himalaya New World Inc, registered in VA in June 2020 by Bingshang Jiao...

Per her FB account, Bingshang Jiao attended high school & college in Beijing & then obtained a graduate degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology...

JFC. Mindy Kamen, the Janover CPA who prepared & signed the deficient Rule of Law Foundation/Society 2020 990s, was named a notable women in accounting & consulting by Forbes last year...
You have to wonder how much work Guo was throwing to Janover.
If you're just tuning in, here's a rundown of some of the issues w the Rule of Law Foundation/Society 2020 990s prepared by Mindy Kamen. One, the entities donated a total of $3.3M worth of PPE but didn't disclose any info about the purchase...
Reviewing the 990s filed by Veterans For Economic Freedom, CEO Pete Hegseth. The preparer, Michael J. Engle, is the Koch's go-to CPA for all their not-for-profits including the one formerly headed by Mike Roman...
More later. Wanted to point out to interested parties how to find the 990s for Veterans For Economic Freedom dba Concerned Veterans For America. The address is a UPS store box despite paying rent & hiring numerous employees.
Veterans For Economic Freedom dba Concerned Veterans For America was registered in Delaware in Oct 2012 & the year end is Sept 30. Looks like Wade Zirkle may have helped Hegseth land the CEO position...

Congrats @DanFoganholi on yr appointment by Gov DeSantis to the State Board of Ed. Re yr position w New Generations Children’s Ministry - its IRS tax exempt status was revoked after filing a single 990-N in 2014....
The New Generations Children’s Ministry website is now inactive. Per the internet archive, it looks the website was reactivated in 2022 after being inactive for several years...
Per Gov DeSantis' press release, you also are the Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Brazilian American Coalition which, according to , hasn't existed since Sept 2023 & never filed for a FEIN.... sunbiz.org
Not enough attention has been paid to Santos campaign finance director Lianna Farnesi. After college, she was trained by the Heritage Foundation, worked for the Trump campaign & then Templar Baker where she was assigned to the Santos campaign....
Funny how Elise Stefanik knew right off the bat Farnesi wasn't involved in covering up Santos' malfeasance even though she was intimately involved in the Santos campaign inner workings. Same tel # for this RSVP...
Oh. Lianna Farnesi has been on the NRCC's payroll since Jan 2023. Which means the NRCC, not Elise Stefanik, is paying Farnesi to work on Stefanik's campaign. Also footing her legal bills? (ty @jgmac1106)....
Trump's elaborate plan to keep his romance w Melania secret & apply for the Einstein visa has to be seen in the context of his pre-nup & divorce from Marla Maples. Per NYS Supreme Court:
Per Gabriel Sherman for Vanity Fair, Trump would only have to pay Marla Maples $1M if they separated within five years of their marriage on Dec 20 1993... vanityfair.com/news/2019/06/m…
The whole stupid made up story about meeting Melania for the first time in Sept 1998 could have been avoided if Trump didn't have a giant inflated ego... vanityfair.com/news/2019/01/t…
