Rahmat Wibowo boasted that he had reported ITB to the police and to the Ministry of Higher Education for 'corporate criminal liability and the code of ethics', attaching his 'Bowobharata' poster that casts the ITB Rector, the STEI Dean, the Informatics program head and Achmad Zaky as 'justification' against his 'truth', and a LinkedIn post calling his legal notice to ITB his 'version of tabayyun'.

[Threads post — rweebs21, 9/18/26] Saya adalah orang yang melaporkan ITB ke pihak kepolisian dan ke kementrian pendidikan tinggi atas kasus tindak pidana pertanggung jawaban korporasi dan kode etik (I am the one who reported ITB to the police and to the Ministry of Higher Education over a case of corporate criminal liability and the code of ethics.) [Attached 1: a video captioned ""kebenaran" dan "pembenaran" dalam kisah mahabaratha, apakah relevan dalam kehidupan kita?" ("'truth' and 'justification' in the Mahabharata: are they relevant to our lives?"), over a screenshot of his LinkedIn post:] Rahmat Wibowo · You — CEO | Gen Z | Production Ready Battle Tested Forward… People say I burned bridges. Maybe. But let me tell you what was actually on fire. Someone used the logos of companies I worked for — Amazon Web Services (AWS), Liven, zvoove Group — and an institution I attended — Institut Teknologi Bandung — to harass and defame me online. Pencemaran nama baik. Deliberate. Targeted. I didn't want a war. All I ever asked for was simple: a clarification, and a public apology. Not an admission of guilt. Not legal consequences.

I even framed it this way to them: "We are asking one's forgiveness not because we admit that we are wrong — but because we don't know who is wrong." That's all it would have taken. That acknowledgment. That humility. But there was too much ego in the room. [Attached 2: a video ending on the AI poster "BOWOBHARATA — KEBENARAN VS PEMBENARAN" with Rahmat and the faces of Tatacipta Dirgantara (ITB Rector), Tutun Juhana (STEI Dean), Yudhistira Dwi Wardhana Asnar (Informatics Program Head) and Achmad Zaky (IAIF ITB Chairman): "In this narrative, Rahmat Wibowo represents kebenaran, while ITB Rector Tatacipta Dirgantara, STEI Dean Tutun Juhana, Informatics Program Head Yudhistira Dwi Wardhana Asnar, and IAIF ITB Chairman Achmad Zaky represent pembenaran. From Rahmat's perspective, the conflict concerns allegations that members of the ITB community protected lecturers and students accused of misconduct, while Ibrahim Arief and Petra Novandi Barus allegedly benefited from personal relationships and institutional loyalty. Power can protect people. Friendship can create loyalty. Institutions can defend their own. But pembenaran…"]
