In the leaked Sable call, execs boasted about a “golf buddy” in the Commerce Department and hinted at setting up a Mickelson golf game with billionaire Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. But a source close to Lutnick shut it down: he’s never heard of Sable, and no golf game is planned.

In this clip from the leaked Sable investor call, the CEO joked about renaming the Pacific “Ocean America,” gold-plating oil platforms, and making sure Oprah could see Trump’s name from her Montecito mansion. Yes, really.

From reporting to impact. Our investigation into Sable is now featured in POLITICO for helping stop Exxon's pipeline.

“Sable has left me no choice,” said Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino as he reversed his original vote to allow Sable the permit to take over Exxon’s failed Santa Barbara oil pipeline.

Russia has adapted its laws to absorb these children. In May 2022, Putin signed a decree allowing Russian families to apply for citizenship on behalf of Ukrainian orphans without Ukraine's permission.

Only 1,744 have been returned as of October 27, 2025. Since the invasion, tens of thousands have been forcibly transferred to hundreds of "education" and military sites across Russia.

This isn’t a first.

@SaveukraineUs, a nonprofit rescuing deported kids, told Hunterbrook that Russian data on abducted minors routinely disappears after exposure.

“Once a Ukrainian child enters the Russian adoption system, their name, date of birth, and documents are changed.”

Hunterbrook received a comment from Martin Flaherty, professor of international law at Fordham University:

The removal also indicates that the adoption agencies may understand the illegality of their actions.
November 2, 2025 at 4:02 PM
Days later, the Russian data vanished, with two entire adoption websites quietly scrubbing their archives. The children’s pages, once publicly viewable, now return “404 not found.”
November 2, 2025 at 4:02 PM
In August, Ukraine’s National Police confirmed our findings:

“The National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine are investigating the cases of the missing children.”

Four of the 12 had been located and returned home.
November 2, 2025 at 4:02 PM
Using AI image recognition and open-source tools, Hunterbrook cross-referenced 35,164 profiles on Russian adoption websites with Ukraine’s Children of War database.

We identified 12 children, ages six to 15, listed as “Russian orphans.”

Flores said he'd "put some gold leaf on the platforms" with letters "50 feet tall or 70 feet tall, so we make sure Oprah can see the tanker from her Montecito mansion."

Trump's verdict, per Flores: "He liked it in gold."

In the meantime, Mickelson took out his anger on the environmental lawyer Linda Krop, who he called: "Linda 'the kunt' Krop"

Krop's statement to Hunterbrook: "This isn't about me. It's about a company that can't get it together to operate responsibly and is now being charged with felonies."

After selling $SOC, Mickelson said he bought them back because of a new plan: Getting Trump to confront Governor Newsom, which could "drive up any stock."
October 31, 2025 at 5:52 PM
If Sable doesn't restart, everything could revert to Exxon for $0.

Hunterbrook first wrote about this project last April.
October 31, 2025 at 5:52 PM
For example:

On September 29, Mickelson messages the group: "I spoke to Jim this morning. An announcement is coming today after market closes. It could be an 8K or press release."

Just after 5:00pm, Sable files 8-K disclosing new strategy. Stock jumps 8% after hours.
October 31, 2025 at 5:52 PM
On multiple occasions, Mickelson has reported on his claimed conversations with CEO Jim Flores, who he sometimes calls "BJF" for "Big Jim Flores."
October 31, 2025 at 5:52 PM
On a leaked October call with select investors, CEO Jim Flores said the company would likely need to raise $100-200 million in equity "in the fourth quarter"—information not disclosed publicly.

When asked how to boost stock price before dilution, Flores: "We're doing everything we can."
October 31, 2025 at 5:52 PM
SCOOP: Mickelson, Oprah, Trump, and Sable’s Hail Mary

Leaked call shows $SOC may be quietly planning an up to $200M dilutive equity raise and giving select investors—including @PhilMickelson—advance warning of material announcements.
