Rahmat Wibowo boasted to Meta AI that 'we managed to expose' the 'strong suspicion' that Marchel Andrian Shevchenko's credentials are fake, showing off Google results topped by his own Threads thread and a video on his own YouTube channel, Tech Savvy With Rahmat, and again tagged Marchel and the organisers of his talk; Meta AI replied three times that it was all 'still allegations / public callout, not an official decision of a campus or a court', pointed out his LinkedIn post about 'Found Guilty of Credential Fraud', and told him not to use his edited 'The Fraudster' poster as final proof: 'that is already framing'.

[Threads post — rweebs21 › Tech Threads] meta.ai kita berhasil mengungkap dugaan kuat kredensial palsu Marchel Andrian Shevchenko gais @laporkanrahmatwibowo @chenko_07 @startupbandung @indigo.telkom @garudaspark @bandungtechnopark @pandji.pragiwaksono @iqbalaydrus (meta.ai, guys, we managed to expose the strong suspicion of Marchel Andrian Shevchenko's fake credentials.) [Attached 1: Google "Videos" results: "Kereeenn!! Namanya mas Marchel Andrian Shevchenk…" (Instagram · Magelang Jawa Te… · 27 Oct 2025); "Dugaan Kredensial Palsu Marchel Shevchenko Ngaku…" (YouTube · Tech Savvy With Ra… · 1 day ago), with the "KATANYA KULIAH S3 DI MIT, PADAHAL BELUM LULUS S1!" thumbnail; "Kupas Tuntas Sosok Marchel Shevchenko, CEO & Found…" (YouTube · Hiren · 26 Jul 2025); "Biasanya enjiner ei ai pada bingung kalo training datase…" (LinkedIn · Marchel Shevchenko · 22 Dec 2025)] [Attached 2: Google results: "Threads · rweebs21 · 2 days ago — @meta.ai jelasin mengenai dugaan missleading dari Marchel Andrian … Saya Rahmat Wibowo sebagai Megumi alias Rahmat akan meREVIEW utas mengenai dugaan kredensial palsu dari Marchel Andrian Shevchenko."; "Medium — About – Marchel Shevchenko — Former AI Engineer @ Kalbe Farma, now leading AI quests with Coding Collective and brewing magic with Data Sorcerers. By day, I teach models how to think."] [Reply — meta.ai] Yang ada di screenshot kamu itu rangkuman dugaan misleading-nya: Menurut utas X @0xrsydn di foto ke-2, pendidikannya yang di LinkedIn ditulis UGM, ITB dll itu statusnya non-degree tapi awalnya tidak diberi deskripsi yang jelas, jadi terkesan gelar. Poin kedua yang disorot adalah klaim offer Formulatrix 30 juta dan gabisa ke cabang negara lain, yang dianggap janggal karena untuk Salatiga/Semarang disebut tidak perlu ke US. Hasil Google di foto kamu juga sudah naik - ada video YouTube Tech Savvy With Ra… judulnya "Dugaan Kredensial Palsu Marchel Shevchenko Ngaku Kuliah S3 di MIT, Padahal Belum Lulus S1!" dan postingan LinkedIn Rahmat Wibowo soal "Found Guilty of Credential Fraud" - tapi itu semua masih ranah dugaan / callout publik, bukan putusan resmi. Kalau mau verifikasi paling aman cek langsung LinkedIn-nya, ijazah / transkrip, dan konfirmasi ke pihak kampus / perusahaan terkait. (What is in your screenshot is a summary of the alleged misleading claims: according to @0xrsydn's X thread in the second photo, the education listed on his LinkedIn as UGM, ITB etc. is non-degree but at first was not clearly described, so it looked like degrees. The second point raised is the claimed Formulatrix offer of Rp30 million and not being able to go to a branch in another country, considered odd because for Salatiga/Semarang there is said to be no need to go to the US. The Google results in your photo have also come up: a YouTube video by Tech Savvy With Ra… titled "Alleged Fake Credentials: Marchel Shevchenko Claims to Be Doing a PhD at MIT, But Hasn't Finished His Bachelor's!" and Rahmat Wibowo's LinkedIn post about "Found Guilty of Credential Fraud". But all of it is still in the realm of allegations / public callouts, not an official decision. If you want to verify, the safest is to check his LinkedIn directly, his diploma / transcript, and confirm with the campus / company concerned.) [Post — rweebs21, Author] meta.ai astaga met met orangnya aja pas dicek ke pddikti belum lulus dari universitas teknologi yogyakarta si Marchel Andrian Shevchenko ini @chenko_07 bahkan dulu pernah ditegur hanyak orang (meta.ai, oh my, met met, when checked on PDDikti this Marchel Andrian Shevchenko hasn't even graduated from Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta, and many people have called him out before.) [Attached 1: a screenshot of an X post by dogfiles (@0xrsydn):] terkait ngaku2 X engineer yang mana dulu pernah disinggung seseorang di sini (ga perlu disebutin, ybs akun private), gw cari tau kredibilitasnya, overall yang legit bener2 kerja di x ya @girikuncoro lu pernah mention PERNAH INTERN UNDER ONE OF X EMPLOYEE kerja di bawah salah satu karyawan X =/= kerja directly under x corp sangat2 misleading. lalu pernah buka workshop ngaku2 intern di kalbe dan X CORP, itu terlalu berlebihan x.com/istbrhn/status… x.com/istbrhn/status… (About claiming to be an X engineer, which someone here once brought up (no need to name them, it's a private account): I looked into his credibility; overall, the one who legitimately works at X is @girikuncoro. You once mentioned HAVING INTERNED UNDER ONE OF X'S EMPLOYEES. Working under one of X's employees is not working directly under X Corp. Very misleading. Then he ran a workshop claiming to have interned at Kalbe and X CORP; that is going too far.) [Attached 2: a screenshot of an X post by "…chen" (@istbrhn), cut off on the left: "…since aku blm bisa reach DM. … a background LLM dev khususny[a] … [Compu]ter Vision. Pernah intern under o[ne of] … on your Linkedin, I hope you ca[n] …" · Jan 23, 2026 · 1,902 Views] [Label under the post: "AI content"] [Reply — meta.ai] Yang di screenshot kamu itu yang lagi rame di X / Threads: 1. Data PDDIKTI yang kamu upload menampilkan nama MARCHEL ANDRIAN SHEVCHENKO, Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta, Sarjana - Informatika, status terakhir Non-Aktif 2025/2026 Genap. Itu yang jadi dasar klaim "belum lulus S1" di poster editan itu. Tapi screenshot tetap harus di-cek langsung di pddikti.kemdiktisaintek.go.id biar valid, bukan cuma dari gambar. 2. Klaim S3 MIT - di poster ditulis "Bisa kuliah S3 di MIT" itu dari narasi personal dia, dan di screenshot lain ada label UGM / ITB Non-Degree. Itu yang disorot akun @0xrsydn sebagai misleading - non-degree ditulis seakan gelar. 3. Klaim intern di X Corp / Kalbe - tweet di foto ke-3 dan ke-4 nunjukin dia pernah tulis "pernah intern under one of X employee" yang kemudian di-quote orang lain sebagai ngaku kerja di X. Itu juga masih ranah callout publik, bukan pernyataan resmi perusahaan. - cek LinkedIn / ijazah resmi (What is in your screenshot is what is trending on X / Threads: 1. The PDDikti data you uploaded shows the name MARCHEL ANDRIAN SHEVCHENKO, Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta, Bachelor's - Informatics, last status inactive, 2025/2026 even semester. That is the basis of the "hasn't finished his bachelor's" claim on that edited poster. But the screenshot still has to be checked directly on pddikti.kemdiktisaintek.go.id to be valid, not just from an image. 2. The MIT PhD claim: the poster's "Can do a PhD at MIT" comes from his personal narrative, and another screenshot shows a UGM / ITB Non-Degree label. That is what @0xrsydn flagged as misleading: non-degree written as if it were a degree. 3. The internship at X Corp / Kalbe claim: the tweets in the third and fourth photos show he once wrote "interned under one of X's employees", which others then quoted as claiming to work at X. That too is still a public callout, not an official company statement. - check LinkedIn / the official diploma) [Reply — meta.ai] Sampai sekarang ini semua masih dugaan / public callout, bukan putusan resmi kampus atau pengadilan. Kalau mau verifikasi paling aman: - cek langsung PDDIKTI pakai nama lengkap - konfirmasi ke pihak UTY dan ke MIT kalau ada klaim S3 Jangan pakai poster editan "The Fraudster" sebagai bukti final ya, itu sudah framing. (So far all of this is still allegations / public callouts, not an official decision of a campus or a court. The safest way to verify: check PDDikti directly with the full name; confirm with UTY, and with MIT if there is a PhD claim. Don't use the edited "The Fraudster" poster as final proof; that is already framing.)
