The multi billionaire tech owners of KoBold metals (who are worth hundreds of billions of dollars) claim to operate with principles of Anti Corruption and Integrity
1) First KoBold implied that they would pay AVZ fair value for the Manono project
2) Then they made AVZ a low-ball offer of pennies on the dollar
3) Then KoBold appears to consistently omit important facts, that it was….
AVZ who explored and discovered the lithium at Manono and produced the assays and JORC resource size and grade
AVZ who produced the DFS, BFS and Sustainability Reports
AVZ who fulfilled all requirements to legally obtain the mining license PE13359
And AVZ who have won all the findings in the ICC and ICSID arbitration cases
Then we find out that KoBold makes a deal with the DRC and is granted seven mining exploration permits around Manono, and in addition to that we find out that KoBold is collaborating with Cominiere.
It seriously brings into question KoBold’s statements that it doesn’t tolerate corruption; that it would walk away from countries rather than participate in corruption; and that it has a passion to be honest about everything.

La RDC à la conquête de la Silicon Valley : M. Célestin Kibeya en mission pour une transition énergétique durab - COMINIERE SA
À l’occasion du Forum DRC Californie 2025, placé sous le thème « La RDC rencontre la Silicon Valley : énergie verte, climat et minerais stratégiques », le Directeur général M. Célestin Kibeya a pris part à plusieurs activités majeures dédiées à la transition énergétique. Accompagné de...cominiere.com
August Cohen on Twitter today doing his best to tell AVZ shareholders we should accept KoBold’s low-ball offer
I seem to remember him threatening that if we didn’t accept KoBold’s offer about 6 months ago they would withdraw all offers
Augie even going as far today as to post about Tshisekedi and Trumps lack of care about corruption and lack of accountability towards the Congolese, in his attempts to get us to accept a low-ball offer
Seems Augie, KoBold and the US are so desperate for Roche Dure that they are prepared to threaten anything and sweep all Cominiere’s corruption under the mat

@AfricanMiners, hello old friend. It is always good to hear from you! I hope all is well, all things considered. To state this clearly, @realDonaldTrump fully and completely trusts @Presidence_RDC and does not care about corruption or repression in Congo - mostly because Trump Show more

Replying to @AugustCohen4 @ShireofShires and 2 others Mr Cohen, If @Presidence_RDC cared about the Congolese —he would have acted 5-years ago re: $AVZ #ManonoLithoum Project. Tshisekedi does not. Corruption (with Chinese money) means #ICSID is the only path left for $AVZ. Who blinks first? @AsstSecStateAF

Former US Prosecutor @AugustCohen4 calls out @Presidence_RDC and @realDonaldTrump for corruption and repression of the Congolese
None of the above seems to be in line with the transparency, governance and anti corruption measures signed in the Minerals and other Agreements
Doesn’t appear to line up with KoBold’s so called Code of Ethics either, but explains why KoBold also appears to be sweeping Cominiere’s corruption under the rug

The DRC conquers Silicon Valley: Mr. Célestin Kibeya on a mission for a durable energy transition
October 28, 2025/0 Comments/in News/byCOMINIERE
On the occasion of the DRC California 2025 Forum, under the theme "The DRC meets Silicon Valley: green energy, climate and strategic minerals", General Manager Mr. Célestin Kibeya took part in several major activities dedicated to the energy transition.
Accompanied by partners from Kobold Energy, Mr. Kibeya visited Tesla's electric vehicle manufacturing plant, a global symbol of technological innovation and sustainable mobility. This visit explored the opportunities for collaboration between the Democratic Republic of Congo, rich in strategic minerals essential to the production of batteries, and Silicon Valley actors involved in the green revolution.
The objective of this mission is clear: to strengthen technological and industrial partnerships for the responsible exploitation of Congolese resources, while supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
This forum marks an important step in cooperation between the DRC and Californian companies, paving the way for a future where innovation, clean energy and sustainable development move hand in hand. Eric Mpungwe
…. As usual, more bullshit from Augie, the US & KoBold, and the DRC & Cominiere. And BTW, thanks for your post Augie, I’m sure it didn’t quite end up coming out quite like you planned it

There is zero chance that fuckwit has passed the bar let alone worked as a prosecutor
The tell is he's never used a single legal citation for any of his claims
If he actually knew his shit he'd be rubbing our noses in it imo

He’s tried to make out he’s a shareholder too which I imagine is also bullshit

Or my pick of both

To be fair 'August' could be a nickname (I also tried Augustus Cohen which had no result) and there is about a bajillion Cohen's registered as attorney's in NY (as you would expect) with other first names
Or he could have practiced in another state
But his lack of legal citations is a bigger red flag than you will find in all of China especially when called out on his wild accusations eg 'KoBold's offer must be disclosed to shareholders' like @Point Piper Dealer nailed him on imo

Engaging him as a divorce lawyer is not a smart move.

Carlos, all I know about the dickhead, is he claims to be a former prosecutor who lives in New York, and he’s posted a lot of bullshit including 1) KoBold has the money to buy our project 2) From months ago, if we didn’t take their low-ball offer by the end of the month they wouldn’t make another one 3) And once again we should take their low-ball offer…. I mean, what a fucken idiot!!
He’s a fraud. May have had a connection at one point but is past it. Only gets his info third hand and it’s all Chinese whispers.August Cohen on Twitter today doing his best to tell AVZ shareholders we should accept KoBold’s low-ball offer

Either he's lying about being a bar compliant lawyer in NY or he's lying about his name
Perhaps try searching for his alias: Rudy Giuliani
