Rahmat Wibowo, calling himself 'Megumi', ran a four-post Threads thread 'reviewing' months-old X posts about the 'alleged fake credentials' of Marchel Andrian Shevchenko, four days before Marchel's 8 November online talk, tagging Marchel, the talk's organisers and partners and MIT in every post; he attached an AI thumbnail built from Marchel's student record, 'Katanya kuliah S3 di MIT, padahal belum lulus S1!', laughed that his startup's domain had been taken over and turned into an online gambling site, though the X post he attached says only that the website was broken, and used him to take another swipe at Ibrahim Arief, the 'corruption defendant', asking why Marchel's name was 'still clean' and answering himself: 'oh right, he's not on the blacklist 😂😂😂'.
