The r/PortAngeles2 thread dissecting the Olympic Herald was only a few comments deep when, according to the thread's author, the subject of the discussion arrived in it.
"Looks like the principal has joined us here in the thread," wrote u/CrabtrapAndPine, "and is actively attempting to purge content outlining his LLC collection." The sentence ended with a link to a screenshot hosted at i.postimg.cc, which the author presented as evidence of an edit in progress.
The author followed with a characterization that belongs to him, not to this publication: "Sucks to get one's grift reported on, I guess. That's okay though, a person can use shell corporations in an attempt to mask illicit activities, but it's hard to make them disappear entirely."
Another commenter, bingbano, put it more simply: "Dude owns a lot of businesses."
TROH quotes the thread as published. We did not independently authenticate the linked screenshot, and we say so. What does not depend on the screenshot is the paper trail the thread was discussing, because that trail sits in public files that no comment-section edit can reach.
Start with the company the thread kept returning to. A commercially compiled Locateplus report ties Anthony Tomashefsky to Advice Chaser LLC at 11 Sapphire Place, Sequim, with the association first recorded April 28, 2023. The thread's original post had linked a Bizapedia profile under Tomashefsky's name listing multiple limited-liability companies, the "LLC collection" of the author's phrase.
On September 25, 2023, a Washington Secretary of State UCC financing statement, filing No. 202326829802, recorded debtors Anthony Colin Tomashefsky and Advice Chaser LLC pledging, in the filing's language, "all tangible and intangible personal property of debtor," extending to accounts, deposit accounts, instruments, patents, trademarks, trade names, and copyrights. A blanket lien, in other words, over everything the man and the company owned.
Then the New York file. Revenued LLC sued Advice Chaser LLC and Tomashefsky in Nassau County Supreme Court in 2023 in a merchant cash advance action; the Trellis.Law docket mirror shows a default judgment granted on November 24, 2023. The Locateplus report records the judgment, $42,128, multiple defendants, as filed February 13, 2024.
One day earlier, on February 12, 2024, a different public file opened closer to home: an eviction filing against Tomashefsky by Properties by Landmark Inc. in Clallam County Superior Court.
Two days, two courts: a $42,128 judgment recorded in Nassau County on February 13, an eviction filing in Port Angeles on February 12. The sequence was part of the financial picture the thread's readers were assembling in real time, the same picture the thread's author reported was being edited out of public view even as they discussed it.
A commenter in the thread, Famous-Finance9192, extended the scrutiny to a second company, writing: "He also worked at another financial company call Off Ball Services as a 'Manager' for 6 years. However, there's no paper trail or existing address. Anthony is young, he's 29 years old but when he was 'managing' the so called financial business he would of been 19. I'm here to say someone needs to investigate." The commenter's arithmetic is his own. What TROH can add from public professional profiles is a documented discrepancy: Off Ball Services' managing partner is Benjamin Mavy, the same Benjamin Mavy who petitioned Clallam County Superior Court for the stalking and harassment protection order against Tomashefsky granted on August 26, 2025. What that overlap means, we do not speculate. That it exists is a matter of profile and court record.
Why does a reported comment-section edit belong in a documentary series? Because it completes the picture of how the operation handles records. The thread alleged a publication built to monetize content while shielding its author behind companies; mid-discussion, the author reported watching the business-registration content being edited away. The companies, the lien, the judgment, and the eviction filing are all still on file where they always were, in Olympia, in Nassau County, and in Port Angeles.
"It's hard to make them disappear entirely," the thread's author wrote. The public record agrees.
This article relies on public court records and public complaints. TROH welcomes a response from Mr. Tomashefsky and will publish it in full.
