    He said that he didn’t work for Blackwater (because it renamed to Constellis) and had nothing to do with them.

      I don’t think it is as cut and dry as that. As per Wikipedia, Blackwater had been renamed to Academi and in 2014 Academi was merged into Constellis Holdings, which included a pre-existing organization Constellis Ltd that was already part of Constellis Holderings?

      A merger between Triple Canopy and Academi, along with other companies that were part of the Constellis Group package, are now all gathered under the Constellis Holdings, Inc. umbrella. The transaction brought together companies including Triple Canopy, Constellis Ltd., Strategic Social, Tidewater Global Services, National Strategic Protective Services, ACADEMI Training Center, and International Development Solutions.

      I’m curious which specific company he worked for and when he worked for them. Do you know what his quote/claim was exactly?

      Also, is this his house or a friend’s? There is a lot of oppo and smearing going on so frankly it’s hard to figure out how honest it all is.

        Platner literally said he joined the military because he wanted to kill people and had an excellent time doing so.

        After his service.

            You got evidence of the smears being true.
