Can anyone explain how @mamulashvili and @NonaMamulashvi ended up as directors of a non-profit in Texas named after @ghlfound... with Richard Sharp as a registered agent, the convicted felon and former ("former" 🙃) "head adjutant to the commander of the @georgian_legion"? 🧵👇
As a reminder, this is Richard Sharp, or "Ed" aka @edwardmurrow666 as he was known in NAFO. His close association with @official_nafo and @apmassaro3 made him extremely popular... until he disappeared without explanation in 2023. 👇
When his criminal record came out, everyone associated with GL was quick to dismiss him as just some random unaffiliated volunteer, despite months of endorsement by people like @the_reshet, @mamulashvili_m, @AdamKinzinger or @apmassaro3. And nearly everyone swallowed it. 👇
Sidenote: this same address is where Sharp registered 2 LLCs last year under the fake name "Richard S Elding".
I have it on good authority that he may have used these to scam a few people, including his former friend @progbullwark who may have introduced him to GL in 2022. 🤭 👇
It's Sharp that @georgian_legion is referencing here, under that other lie.
Was @the_reshet's unending "visit to the USA" perhaps related to the creation of this structure? Could it be why @Mamulashvili_M is now so desperate to "visit" too, rather than vague medical reasons? 👇
You can find the Ukrainian doppelganger of the new Texan @ghlfound charity right here:
@Mamulashvili_M is listed as its co-founder alongside Henry Dzhemalovych Diasamidze. 👇 opendatabot.ua/c/44710328
Quite interestingly, this Henry is the co-founder of another NGO called "BUREAU FOR FIGHTING CORRUPTION AND ORGANIZED CRIME" founded in 2014. Talk about a sense of irony. Details here: 👇 opendatabot.ua/c/39346193
This isn't the only charity that @mamulashvili_m founded in Ukraine. Here is the "Georgian Legion Academy" which was founded just 3 months ago. 👇 opendatabot.ua/c/45542186
Of course, the main "GEORGIAN NATIONAL LEGION" entity cannot be forgotten. It was founded in 2017 by @Mamulashvili_M as well as two other people. Pay close attention to the second. 👇 opendatabot.ua/c/41525559
This Oleg Oleksiiovych Sahanda seems to have a lot of charities in his name, including a number tying into to the @georgian_legion. Seems like a quite the complicated setup, doesn't it?

Anyway... this is where my limited set of skills and time finds its limit. I think I have published more than enough information for journalists to pay interest, and for those who gave @georgian_legion and @Mamulashvili_M uncritical promotion to apologize to the public. 👇

There is now an account using my family name, going around sharing my picture. That account has only one follow, @georgian_legion. 🙃
As I and others have said, they behave like a criminal gang. It's time to stop getting played by their "акрема паясню" excuses. #FedABadWolf
If it walks like a criminal, talks like a criminal, behaves like a criminal, then... let's wait for the Nth promised statement that will clarify everything, eta nye adnaznachna. 🤤
@RFERL @France24_en @UaBabel @KyivIndependent @InsiderEng @KyivPost @ukrpravda_news @pravda_eng @SkyNews @U24_gov_ua @politico @thetimes @TheEconomist @AlJazeeraWorld @MSNBC @MetroUK @BusinessInsider It's time to wake up. Don't your journalistic standards dictate that you issue corrections for misleading your readers about the nature of Georgian Legion in your previous issues? x.com/potuzhnishyy/s…

How can representatives of the Georgian Legion like "John Doe" still be claiming that GL is a separate unit, in spite of denials from the 54th Brigade, GUR and Ground Forces Command? Who do they hope to fool, besides the handful of remaining die-hard fans? 🤦♂️
According to this same article and Mamuka himself in a recent interview, Hromadske's journalist was shown *some* of GL's top-opsec receipts, which still did not support their claims. There is nothing wrong with NGOs supplying the military... as long as it's not misrepresented.
Who would you rather believe? Official statements by the Armed Forces to a reputable Ukrainian media, or a handful of anonymous trolls ("tr0lls" 🤷♂️) slandering foreign supporters, Ukrainians and/or active duty defenders who ask reasonable questions and point out contradictions?
There is no better way to prove the innocence of your NGO than to have thugs use its logoto support death threats like the mafia would use a pig head. 🚩
@NPU_GOV_UA and @ServiceSsu might want to do something about this before it gets to the part where the threats are executed.
Of course, @LesLibere54160 aka @JohnDow07348212 would be approving of those methods and issue similar threats to me. 🫠 Well, go on! Come to France, drive to my village, stick one of those on my door, and see what happens. What could go wrong?
Will @LawyerMorgun from Anteveris issue a statement condemning such criminal methods? He has been rather silent, lately. 🤔
I have seen my fair share of stupid wedging attempts, but that one takes the cake. @MooshieMadz check this shit out. 😂
just searched our chats and nope, I had not even given @MooshieMadz my family name. 😂
As for @LvivNightingale's full name, we all know you got it from @officejjsmart when he doxxed him and threatened to publish a @KyivPost article about him being unpleasant to Marisa @summoresmores in DMs.
There is indeed one person who knew my family name, my #1 Romanian fan Maya aka @moonchild0110, @sirdesarrieu or @cryptogrftn. The messages below were exchanged during her own time in the Ukraine DAO chat, when she acted all friendly-flirty with me before she flipped, harassed me for two years and doxxed me a bunch of times.
Had she not deleted her old Telegram account, she might have been able to provide @apravda and her other criminal friends a more accurate doxx than "Boyer, France". 😂 I thank Google for not updating my location in the weather app since I'd returned from the airport.
Anyway, it would be a shame if people started reporting @schadenfreu_de for breaking Twitter ToS 3 tweets out of 4. Twitter would not be the same without our favourite scam-supporting, misogynistic, drama-loving, friendly firing angry german squid. 🤫 x.com/search?q=from%…
Isn't it interesting that @KyivPost's very "special correspondent", political consultant and PhD in character assassination @officejjsmart judges retweet-worthy Feyd's raving deflection du jour from the @apravda hit piece targeting GL critics? 🤔
By the way this is not how intellectual property works. Just because someone publishes a picture or other work of art online does not make it "public domain". 🥲 It's pretty ironic to still have to explain this, considering how @KyivPost had to be asked multiple times to stop stealing and posting content without even crediting its authors.
Maybe that's because I was calling out his dear @KyivPost "colleague" @ChuckPfarrer earlier for once again promoting disinformation.
The two met through @KyivPost's two year partner @MriyaReport, which recently saw the resignation of most of its board (except @ChuckPfarrer!) following the reveal of massive embezzlement by @YAmzallagh and several others, with only a small share of donations reaching Ukraine.
A September 2022 article by @officejjsmart announced that @KyivPost was "collaborating" with @MriyaReport, meaning that hours of air time were reserved for him to interview special guests of his own choice, including his friends and clients. It contained multiple obfuscations, such as @MriyaReport's origin in @walter_report that @officejjsmart had even been a guest to.
The "article" that @ChuckPfarrer shared, written under a fake name "Mykola Tatarov" but in the unmistakable style of the owner and sole "journalist" @serge_medyanik. It slanders and publishes the private information of multiple @georgian_legion critics, including yours truly and several members of the armed forces.
See this excerpt. I redacted its many attempts at sharing private information, and highlighted the baseless slander in yellow. Of note, @serge_medyanik has several outstanding lawsuits for defamation and is declared a fugitive by @NPU_GOV_UA.
@ChuckPfarrer claimed to @athena_legion that he knew well how @apravda engages in anti-Ukraine disinformation, but chose to promote their article anyway for an unspecified reason, unable or unwilling to point to any value in it.
Eventually, faced with an overwhelmingly negative response, @ChuckPfarrer started hiding replies before finally restricting them to his follows, à la @georgian_legion.
Or maybe, just maybe, there is a not-so-subtle pattern indicating that @officejjsmart has some sort of stake in helping @georgian_legion not face questions about... let's list the "russian dark PR" items:
- GL's total lack of accounting or transparency on millions received in donations, >400k€ solely as donations to join NAFO;
- GL's lies about being a unit, when it's really an NGO and appears to never have been an independent unit;
- GL's aggressive and dismissive response to questions that any honest NGO or unit would be able to answer;
- The massive discrepancy between the NGO's reported income and donations;
- GL's social media and Paypal manager Reshet fleeing to the US and spending at least five figures in donations on himself, which co-director @Mamulashvili_M covered for;
- the real reason why Mamuka had Reshet campaigning to urgently get him a US visa for non-credible medical reasons;
- Mamuka's "potential poisoning" (dixit Reshet) that resulted in ample international media coverage based on unproven claims;
- What the 20k€ raised by @embeathome for Mamuka's "treatment" were used for;
- Mamuka's actual rank and authority, if any
- the continued involvement of fake veteran, convicted felon, conman, harrasser and perjurer Richard Sharp;
- the nature and purpose of the "GHL" non-profit that Sharp, Mamuka and Nona Mamulashvili set up in Texas;
- the documented manipulation, blackmailing, gaslighting, abuse and even grooming of volunteers;
- the methodical smear campaigns targeting all GL's critics, that @officejjsmart and his fans have greatly helped with, just like they did with @MriyaReport's critics;
- the laughable, probably paid hit pieces published by @apravda in two occasions in defense of GL and Mamuka, misrepresenting the questions as russian disinformation and slandering critics.
And I'm probably forgetting some. Minor details, right? 🥲
