Flairing as potential lead. I remember when this came up way back at the beginning. It just ended up going down the memory hole. People seemed to stopping digging this lead for some reason. These are the kinds of leads that should be high-priority. Hard facts, rather than chasing tinfoil theories pushed by shills to distract us. It would be great if we could find a photo of the Besta manager to confirm whether it's the same guy as the Hope of Guinea guy (and/or the rapist in Britain).

'Diallo' is a very common name in some African regions (like 'Smith' or 'Miller'), so I don't think the Besta guy is the same as the Hope of Guinea guy - they have different first names, too.
I think the OP needs to make clear what they're implying. To me I read the post as saying Ibrahim and Abdoulaye BOTH managed Besta. Not that they were the same person with slightly different names. After seeing their photos its clear they're different people. Whether the Manchester Abdoulaye is the same one as the Besta guy is another thing.

The newspaper article in the infographic says the Besta guy's name is Ibrahim, whereas the paperwork has Abdoulaye. Maybe he goes by both names.
