More than anything, I truly despise people who take advantage of my willingness to help and exploit other aid workers in the war zone. Here’s what I’m dealing with now: a British medic on the frontlines in Ukraine is trying to pull some sketchy medical supply schemes for his personal gain and exploit nonprofits and local volunteers on the ground. His requests to @crystalhearts and several other orgs seemed so off, and luckily my intuition was screaming that something was not right. Over the past few days, I managed to get him investigated by his current superiors & his previous units with some extra help of my friends in Defense Intelligence. We’re now at the “fuck around and find out” and “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” stage of this drama.

Is this the same guy who didn’t escort you on your supply delivery?

Yup! He re-emerged with emergency requests for his medical unit to several different nonprofits. The request seemed legit, his medical unit is real, and they are indeed in really horrible conditions on the frontlines, desperately needing medical supplies. But something about his wording just seemed off, and now, after the investigation, we know it was a scheme to get expensive medical supplies shipped directly to him so he could sell them and make money while his unit struggles to save people. Oh, and now learned the true story of why he never went on that aid delivery drive (before, I could only assume the reasons) from the medics on his old team and he definitely lied about literally everything—none of what he said was real.
