3. Chronology of key events
- Early to Mid 2013: Yevhen Sliuzko meets with Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows in Venus, Florida where Sliuzko appeals to be made the CEO of The Venus Project. Jacque flatly refuses. According to Roxanne Meadows (confidential internal communication), the situation was described as ‘sleazy’ and Sliuzko was viewed as the ‘strange Ukrainian.’ These terms reflect her personal perspective shared in confidence.
- 12 September 2013: Sliuzko establishes his own future design concept called “Designing the Future”. He used this platform to critically oppose TVP after his request to be made CEO was denied. The website attracts little traffic even to this day. https://www.whois.com/whois/designing-the-future.org
- 2013 -2017: Sliuzko runs a Russian language translations of Jacque Fresco’s work by merely dubbing over the videos and audio recordings created by Jacque in his life time. There are 1,000’s of these recordings online published by TVP. An instant following is formed of Russian speakers. Sliuzko generates significant income from YouTube advertising for which no formal revenue-sharing agreement with TVP exists, as verified by TVP. TVP stated difficulty in enforcing rights across jurisdictions and, while concerned about unauthorised use, tolerated the activity because of its promotional reach.
- 18 May 2017: Jacque Fresco dies and Sliuzko again insists on being made CEO of TVP. The remaining team, led by Ms Roxanne Meadows, declined his request. TVP confidentially described their view of Sliuzko in strongly negative terms: “sleazy Ukrainian”.
- 2017 to 2022: Sliuzko continued to publicly criticise the project and members of the team such as Roxanne Meadows and Nathaniel Dinwiddie. However his Russian language activities now attract millions of views. With Jacque’s death, Sliuzko’s tacitly approved work becomes the main public activity of TVP and he continued to publish commentary and translations, whilst remaining publically critical of TVP leadership. TVP indicated a tactical decision to maintain informal contact rather than engage in public confrontation; the decision was driven by risk-management concerns.
- 31 December 2022: Following extensive discussions directly between Jeremiah Josey of TTN and Roxanne Meadows of TVP, a comprehensive Non Disclosure and Non Circumvention Agreement is signed between the two organisations. The intention is to negotiate collaboration for a future city powered by Thorium, based on Jacque’s ideas. All relevant team members are included in the agreement, including Sliuzko. Jeremiah Josey was not aware of the issues between TVP and Sliuzko at this time.
- 10 January 2023: Jeremiah Josey with the TTN team meet online with Roxanne Meadows and the entire TVP team and continue the negotiations. The meeting goes well and an MOU is agreed as the path forward between TTN and TVP..
- Late 2022 and Early 2023: Sliuzko again approaches the TVP team, spending an extending period on site at Venus, Florida. Again his request to be made CEO is flatly rejected by Roxanne and the board of TVP. Jeremiah Josey only became aware of the TVP interaction with Sliuzko late in the MOU negotiations.
- 1 May 2023: Comprehensive contract signed between TTN and Dr. Simon Michaux securing his position with TTN. He was already nominated as a TTN team member in the 31 December 2022 agreement with TVP. This was now his official engagement contract with TTN for the TVP project.
- Most of 2023: The Sliuzko issue is revealed piece by piece to Jeremiah Josey as he attempts to put together the MOU between TTN and TVP. Significant time was required to address ongoing complications arising from Sliuzko’s ambiguous and inconsistent positioning regarding the project. Despite having no formal claim to the project, he continued to publicly criticise the TVP members while promoting the project to his Russian-speaking audience.
- 23 October 2023: Once the full situation was made aware to Jeremiah Josey about the leaking intellectual property to the Russian language work under Sliuzko, and his slanderous attacks on the team, Jeremiah Josey advises Roxanne Meadows to send an email to Sliuzko to secure the IP of TVP. After all, TTN intention is to expand and enhance this IP, and leaks are not good business. Roxanne sends the email to Yevhen Sliuzko, with a BCC to Jeremiah Josey. The content focuses on licensing/promotional arrangements; explicitly referencing development of scenario modelling under the promotional name “Venus Evolution” and states certain ownership/branding positions (Exhibit A). Jeremiah Josey retains an original copy. This is the first official position that Sliuzko has ever received in writing from TVP. Sliuzko responded with public criticism directed now at Jeremiah Josey.
- 7 December 2023: TTN and TVP execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) setting out the collaboration framework, confidentiality expectations and non-circumvention commitments (Exhibit B).
- December 2023 – to date: TTN provides technical inputs and discussions under the MOU while confidentiality obligations remain in effect (Exhibit C).
Update as of 15 July 2024
- January 2024 to March 2024: Sliuzko accelerates his attacks on TVP and TTN members directly, establishing a closed Telegram group. Anyone questioning the Sliuzko line or his “research” is promptly removed from the group. Only “yes men” are permitted to remain in this group. Videos are planned defaming Dr, Simon Michaux and Nathaniel Dinwiddie, representing them as “spiders”. A fake dossier is planned, discussed and created against Jeremiah Josey (screen shots are available).
- 28 March 2024: Sliuzko makes a public post strongly critical of Jeremiah Josey, which TTN and TVP consider slanderous and factually incorrect.
- 16 June 2024: The formal partnership between The Thorium Network (TTN) and The Venus Project (TVP) was dissolved. Subsequently, in breach of prior agreements, TVP engaged The Thorium Alliance as advisers on thorium-related matters without TTN’s consent.
- 1 July 2024: Dr. Simon Michaux, previously contracted by TTN under a binding consultancy agreement, breached his contract by joining the TVP advisory board. Following this action, Dr. Michaux was subsequently terminated from TVP’s advisory role. See below for evidence provided directly by Roxanne Meadows at TVP.
- Mid 2024: Additional statements were obtained from former advisers and team members of TVP, as well as former associates of Yevhen Sliuzko. The evidence strongly suggests that deficiencies in business acumen and integrity within TVP have allowed TTN to avoid considerable frustration and inaction by continuing to advise TVP despite challenges, while allowing the equally low integral Sliuzko to remain an unaddressed liability for TVP.
4. Documentary analysis — what the documents show (facts only)
Exhibit A — Roxanne email (23 Oct 2023)
- What it contains (documented):
- Roxanne acknowledges and formalises a royalty-free licensing arrangement for Russian-language territories for a named recipient.
- Roxanne describes use of a promotional name “Venus Evolution” for scenario modelling related to city planning and energy transition strategies.
- Roxanne states (in the email) that the written confirmation “supersedes all previous arrangements … except any NDAs which were signed.”
- The email requests a signed acknowledgement (signature on each page) to be returned within seven business days.
- Probative value: This contemporaneous, dated, author-created document establishes: (a) TVP leadership used the promotional name “Venus Evolution” in Oct 2023; (b) TVP leadership asserted control/ownership language with respect to certain TVP materials; and (c) TVP leadership acknowledged the existence of NDAs as of Oct 2023.
- No Reply: Sliuzko did not respond to the direct email from Roxanne. TTN and TVP interpret this lack of response as an indication of bad faith and an unwillingness to engage constructively. Concurrently, Sliuzko’s public communications continued with slanderous attacks on the team.
Exhibit B — NDNCA, 31 December 2022
- What it shows (documented):
- Definitions of confidential categories, obligations of recipients, and permitted uses.
- Dates of execution precede or coincide with the MOU.
Exhibit C — TTN–TVP MOU, 7 December 2023
- What it contains (documented):
- Contractual language outlining collaborative scope, confidentiality, and non-circumvention expectations between TTN and TVP.
- Signatures or signed drafts are preserved in the repository.
- Probative value: Establishes the parties’ contractual framework and expectations for the December 2023 collaboration.
Exhibit D — Contract between TTN and Dr. Simon Michaux
- What it show (documented):
- Clear intention to formalise a structured approach to entering a massive undertaking.
5. Impact assessment (reputational & stakeholder)
- Audience reach: Archived analytics available as of 13 April 2024 indicate that the third-party author’s platforms (Sliuzko) have limited engagement relative to main stakeholder channels. While broad public harm appears limited, targeted stakeholders (investors, specific partners, niche communities) may see the posts.
- Risk: The principal risk is misunderstanding among priority stakeholders (investors, partners) caused by selective quotations or miscontextualised registry snapshots. The objective is to neutralise confusion with targeted, factual materials.
- Opportunity: The contemporaneous documents in TTN custody (Exhibits A–D) permit a clear, verifiable narrative for interested and accredited stakeholders under NDA.
