The spreadsheet in your screenshot says that the user NataDoka on the bitcointalk‍.org forum had the Twitter username sergeyuf.

I tried searching for posts by the user on the forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile%3bu=1817936%3bsa=showPosts. None of the posts mentioned the username sergeyuf, but many posts mentioned the Twitter username dokadnepr75. One post said "Twitter username:@dokadnepr75" which was followed by the line "Twitter URL: https://twitter.com/Sergey15585539". It may have been a mistake, because the post was formatted using a similar formula as other posts but in other posts the field for the Twitter URL showed the URL of dokadnepr75. And the username Sergey15585539 was not mentioned in other posts.

Twitter says that the account Sergey15585539 is suspended, so it's not the same account as anticatlady. It wasn't archived by the Wayback Machine. Old replies to the account seem to be related to cryptocurrencies: https://x.com/search?q=%40Sergey15585539&f=live. But on the other hand old replies to sergeyuf seemed to be related to sports: https://x.com/search?q=%40sergeyuf&f=live. So I don't know if the account sergeyuf was actually used to promote cryptocurrencies, because none of the replies to the account seem to be related to cryptocurrencies.

The account dokadnepr75 still exists, and it has about 3,000 tweets but they mostly seem to promote cryptocurrencies or Web3 projects, and the newest tweet is from 2018. The display name of the account is "Наталья Доленко" and its location is set as Ukraine, and its profile picture is a photo of two ladies.

The user NataDoka on the bitcointalk‍.org forum also posted many links to their Facebook profile, which has the display name Наталья Доленко and a photo of the other lady who is featured in the profile picture of the Twitter user dokadnepr75: https://www.facebook.com/NataDoka. She has liked many pages related to cryptocurrencies on Facebook.

In 2022 she posted a photo of someone named Sergei in Ukrainian military gear and wrote this in Ukrainian: "Please help to find her!!!! Sergei Igorovich Grigorovich 10/24/1984 н. Lives in the m. Chernivtsi Military man. Last time I came in touch on 10.03.2022 at 6:00 am, was in the Kyiv region" (https://www.facebook.com/NataDoka/posts/pfbid02RDQXrjVDLCe3Q28J9ALZGqPFQk7QdbPfZwLCP1FVjx3n2V9upvUE9HtmPjFB9wbtl). I don't know if it's the same Sergei though.
