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. 👇

Я був би вдячний, якби на цю схему звернули увагу українські журналісти-розслідувачі та антикорупціонери.

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. 🤔
