Pelican Way Research β€’ January 12, 2026 β€’ "More Focused on Narrative Management Than Building a Business"

TWEET THREAD ANALYSIS β€” NOT A FORMAL REPORT

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This dashboard summarizes a Twitter/X thread from Pelican Way Research (@Pelicanwayre), posted January 12, 2026. This is NOT a formal research report. The authors explicitly state: "not a short report, we are short some shares but there will be no formal writeup." All claims below are attributed to Pelican Way Research's tweet thread.

CORE ALLEGATIONS (PER TWEET THREAD)

According to Pelican Way Research, OneMedNet ($ONMD) is a company that appears "more focused on narrative management than on building a durable and transparent business."

The thread alleges the October 2025 Palantir announcement was misleading, highlights governance concerns including a remote CEO and CFO with dual employment, questions the legitimacy of their corporate headquarters, and raises red flags about their auditor history. Pelican Way concludes this is a troubling picture warranting significant skepticism.

THE PALANTIR ANNOUNCEMENT

Press Release vs. Reality (Per Pelican Way Research)

πŸ“° What ONMD Announced

"Strategic collaboration" with Palantir to "revolutionize our ability to deliver high-quality, regulatory-compliant data at remarkable speed" and "power breakthroughs in clinical research and AI-driven healthcare solutions."

πŸ” What Pelican Way Found

ONMD merely agreed to use Palantir software as a customer. "No indication that PLTR is acting as a partner, reseller, or co-developer, nor that Palantir has made any commercial or strategic commitment to ONMD beyond providing software."

RED FLAGS IDENTIFIED

1 Misleading Palantir Announcement
October 6, 2025 press release framed a customer relationship as a "strategic collaboration." According to Pelican Way, the substance "appears far less consequential than the market reaction suggested." Shares surged on news that was allegedly exaggerated.
2 Remote CEO with Limited Transparency
The CEO works remotely and is based in Canada. Pelican Way notes "limited transparency around executive presence and operational oversight" particularly concerning "given its apparent operational fragility and financial distress."
3 CFO Dual Employment
CFO Robert Golden was appointed permanently in January 2025 after an interim period starting August 2024. Per Pelican Way, he "appears to maintain simultaneous employment with his prior CPA firm." They find "no clear indication that this dual role was fully disclosed to investors."
4 Questionable Corporate Address
The company's listed principal place of business at 6385 Old Shady Oak Road, Suite 250 "does not appear to be a bona fide operating headquarters." According to Pelican Way, this address is currently listed as a REGUS office for anyone to use.
5 Problematic Auditor History
Former auditor BF Borgers was permanently barred by the SEC for "massive fraud impacting more than 1,500 public filings." Replacement auditor WithumSmith+Brown was recently censured by PCAOB and fined $2M for "widespread quality control failures."
6 Paid Stock Promotion
Pelican Way states that "stock promotion tracker indicates that ONMD has spent thousands of dollars on paid promotional activity." Combined with other concerns, this paints a picture of a company allegedly focused on "narrative management."

Overall Concern Level (Per Tweet Thread)

Low Concern Moderate High Concern

Pelican Way describes a "troubling picture" across multiple governance dimensions
