Would be good to make a PSA thread on potentially questionable KSMLs.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks. Maybe a mod can change the name of this thread, and also put a link to it in the KSML Master Thread wiki, no?

That might be the rule rather than the exception. Always BYOK.

Why don't you do the rest of us who do care a favor and get some more information if you can?

FWIW, here's an exchange from last week between Wolf and Havlin, after Wolf was approached by quite a few, asking him to back out.

לכב׳ הגרי״י הבלין שליט״א

מאחר וכנראה לא הובנו מעשיי וכוונותי כדבעי ובמשך כל השנים הייתי החיבור בין הפכים לתועלת הציבור ,ומאחר ואני רואה שלא אוכל להגיע למטרה נשגבת זו על אף שכל כוונותי היו טובות וכנראה שהוטעיתי , אי לכך אני מושך את ידי ומאחל הצלחה לכם

ומברך את הנפשות הפועלות

בברכת התורה ולומדיה

אליעזר וולף

רב ואב״ד אמשטרדם





ב"ה יום ה' לסדר "ואלה המשפטים"

לכבוד הרה"ג אליעזר וולף שליט"א

שמחתי לקבל את ההבהרה וההתנצלות , אני מבין ומקבל שכוונתו היתה לטובה , והאמת והשלום אהבו.

יוסף י. הבלין

פפד"מ

Appel tried to officially have it under Wolf while he (appel) would be the Mashgiach, but Wolf backed out after being addressed by several Rabonim

Never flew Ukrainian so I don't know. IINM ex-KBP they have supervision of Vishetsky (formerly from Donetsk) who I would probably trust.

As usual, follow @Dan's advice, BYOK (and AYLOR about the catered KSML).

It’s not under Havlin, it’s under Appel. Should you trust Appel? That is why I said AYLOR. Obviously Havlin is saying you shouldn’t.
