Who are these people?

The idea that we don't live in a vacuum has never been more true. Our digital footprints get larger as the velocity of data and capabilities of technology increase. Your activity shows up in more places, and there are better machines to put the data together.

We're more publicly verifiable than we ever have been. The higher your profile, the more information you give off. The flip side of privacy concerns is that it's pretty easy to check people out to make sure they are who they say they are..

I've spent some time checking up on the MSB principals, and I've written about a couple of them. But let me put the picture together here, at least in a summary format, so you can get an idea of the absurdity of anyone taking these people seriously.

Using AI and verifying the data as much as I can, here's an AI summary of the claims made by MSB on their Our Team page:

PRINCIPAL	EVALUATION
Ganna Mikhaylovna Halvorsen	No independent verification of claimed large-scale wind/solar leadership. Prior career as a painter. Introduced MSB to the City via personal relationship with City Attorney Nate Smith. The claims are heavily inflated and not independently verifiable.
Mark Blanchard (no bio on website but he's the guy that signed the LOI with the City)	No public records link this Mark Blanchard to the well-known AECOM/Hill International executive of the same name. No Texas P.E. license or verifiable history of leading hyperscale data-center or comparable large infrastructure projects. The claims are not verifiable and appear fabricated or misleading.
Mikey Lucas	Background appears limited to door-to-door solar sales and smaller energy-related work. No record of managing large-scale infrastructure or data-center projects. The claims of scaling complex infrastructure and energy operations for large-scale data-center builds are significantly overstated.
Kenneth Halvorsen	No Texas P.E. license or any U.S. engineering license found in TBPELS or national databases. No verifiable record of managing hyperscale data-center or comparable large construction projects. Prior career as a painter. The claims of decades of construction leadership in large-scale data-center projects are unsupported and appear fabricated.
Alex Gallt	No Texas P.E. license or any U.S. engineering license found in TBPELS or national databases. No verifiable record of managing hyperscale data-center or comparable large construction projects. The claims of decades of professional engineering leadership in large-scale data-center projects are unsupported and appear fabricated. No independent verification this person exists.
Jalal Aletaha	Headshot on MSB website is a cropped version of a public Pexels stock photo. No independent verification of claimed engineering credentials on major projects. The photo is confirmed stock and the credentials and project claims appear fabricated. No independent verification this person exists.
Andy White	Independent Texas Secretary of State business filings confirm a person named Andy White as Managing Partner of Southlake Group, a Dallas-Fort Worth area entity. No verification of working at Apple. No independent news articles, regulatory filings, court records, or project documentation outside company-related materials verify any involvement in large-scale AI facilities, hyperscale data centers, HVAC redesign for mission-critical infrastructure, or the claimed expertise at MSB Global Services. The claims of AI facilities and hyperscale expertise at MSB appear unsupported by independent records.
John Romano	No independent public records, court filings, business registries, or news articles outside MSB-related materials confirm a John Romano with NCR Voyix employment or any large-scale data-center or infrastructure program leadership. No verifiable matches exist for the claimed role or expertise at MSB Global Services. The claims appear unsupported by independent records.
Nigel Salina	Nigel Salina exists and is a legitimate, high-profile figure as founder/CEO of Globus Energy Group. However, his listed role at MSB Global Services has no independent verification outside the MSB website. It appears to be a self-reported affiliation with no external corroboration of actual involvement, work, or partnership on the Matrix project or any MSB activities.

The research is based off public records (excluding self-reported sources) using 3 separate multi-agent AI searches cross-fed back to each other for consensus (yes, they're autonomous and they often don't agree intially, which is fun). I've validated as much of the detailed data as I can, but I've got a dog.

Next, I asked the AI's to compare the MSB bios to the leadership teams of established data center developers like ServerFarm, Cipher Digital, Vantage Data Centers, and Riot Platforms [SPOILER: THEY ALL CHECK OUT FINE]:

Public records show MSB Global Services presents a leadership team with ambitious titles and claimed experience in hyperscale infrastructure, renewable energy, and large-scale construction. However, independent verification reveals almost no corroborating evidence for those claims. Ganna Halvorsen has documented ties to the Sulphur Springs project through her personal relationship with City Attorney Nate Smith, but no public regulatory filings, FERC records, or news sources confirm her leadership of 600 MW+ wind/solar projects. Mark Blanchard, Alex Galtt, Jalal Aletaha, and others have no Texas P.E. licenses, no verifiable history of completed hyperscale data-center projects. The company itself is an unproven LLC with no documented track record of delivering or leading projects at any scale.

In stark contrast, established data-center developers like Cipher Mining, ServerFarm, Vantage Data Centers, and Riot Platforms have leadership teams with extensive, publicly verifiable track records. Vantage has developed multiple gigawatt-scale campuses with billions in institutional backing and documented hyperscale tenant relationships. Cipher Mining and Riot Platforms are publicly traded companies with audited financials, operational Bitcoin-mining/data-center facilities in the hundreds of megawatts, and leadership teams that include executives from major tech and energy firms with clear project histories. ServerFarm has a long operating history with multiple facilities and documented clients. These companies’ principals have licensing records, published project portfolios, regulatory filings, and news coverage that independently confirm their experience—something MSB’s team largely lacks.

In short, MSB’s leadership appears to be a new, unproven group relying on promotional bios, while the comparison developers are established operators with transparent, independently verifiable credentials and delivered projects.

I added the emphasis.

If you read MSB's bios on their website, it doesn't take much to realize how much fiction there is. Every person on there has accomplishments so absurd it defies credibility. They're the most successful people that no one's heard of, well at least the ones that actually exist.

I'll post more detailed info later, but I'll never understand why Marc Maxwell picked these guys without soliciting bids from reputable, proven developers.
