The ongoing saga of the identity of Twitter user @PRGuy17 has taken another series of twists with the owner of the mysterious account outing himself as Jeremy Maluta.
Avi Yemini, the independent journalist and the man who fought Twitter to have the owner of the account outed is skeptical, however, believing Maluta could be the ‘fall guy’ for someone more powerful. Yemini has claimed the account is linked to the office of Victoria Premier Dan Andrews.
This month Yemini won the right to force Twitter to reveal the identity of PRGuy17, claiming identification was necessary for him to launch defamation proceedings. Consent orders were eventually made, and earlier this week Twitter released its data on the account.
But in a surprise twist today Maluta claimed in media reports that it was his account, before Yemini’s experts had completed their analysis of the Twitter data.
Supporters and opponents of Yemini are both claiming victory with the revelation.
If it is him.
I won.
He outed himself after my legal action.
And we’ll find out his actual connection to the Labor Party and Dan Andrews soon enough.
If it’s isn’t him.
We’ll know soon.
But I’m suss when NOTHING shows up when you Google his name.
Nothing.

Gosh the leftards are desperate to "own" this. First they moan about protecting PRGoon's anonymity, now they are boasting about producing him. ????♀️
Even if it is this bloke, he's only lost his anonymity because of Avi's actions. What a "win"???? https://t.co/eqHlzyoJve

So Jeremy Maluta has a massive man crush for Dan Andrews, who would want to own that, or is he the fall guy ????
Yep you can’t sook now, it’s clearly a win for Avi.
PRGuy unmasked.

Let me spell it out for you.
PRGuy was anonymous for over two years.
He tried to keep it that way.
I started a campaign to unmask him.
I literally created the URL https://t.co/MvelX4nxdy for that purpose.
Next… PRGuy is suddenly allegedly unmasked.
You’re welcome. https://t.co/JihikRI0ft

So, PRGuy has outed himself as Jeremy Maluta.
A Google search finds no-one under that name. Absolutely nothing (except someone called Jeremy Hewitt-Maluta who may or may not be the same person).
Curiouser and curiouser.

Leftist eyes. You can see the mental illness swirling around in there. Creepy weirdo
Lol was just going to say the same thing – the eyes say it all! ????
If Avraham Shalom Yemeni claims he’s been defamed why does he not sue this Maluta? Or is Yemeni really part of the crackdown against internet anonymity.?
