Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read AnubisDAO against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.

“while another report dates the laundering of 1,018 ETH (about $1.18 million at prevailing prices) through Tornado Cash, in 100 ETH increments, to July 15–16, 2022”
reviewerThe 1,018 ETH Tornado Cash laundering, in 100 ETH increments, occurred on July 15-16, 2022The July 15-16 100 ETH batches are the 2023 event. The 1,018 ETH figure is from the June 24, 2022 reports. The page merges the two and dates them to 2022, which makes the 'reports differ' framing a false discrepancy.Proposed correction (not yet applied)and crypto.news, also in June 2022, reported that 1,018 ETH (about $1.18 million at prevailing prices) had been laundered through Tornado Cash by that time - #2[disputed][awaiting moderator]in the timeline

“The use of Tornado Cash after the OFAC sanctions may create additional legal exposure for the perpetrators, though no enforcement action has been announced.”
reviewerPost-sanction Tornado Cash use may create legal exposure (OFAC sanctions presented as current)The page frames the sanctions as live leverage; they were lifted in 2025. The legal-exposure speculation is unsourced and weaker now.Proposed correction (not yet applied)The use of Tornado Cash after the OFAC sanctions was made while those sanctions were in force; Treasury removed the economic sanctions against Tornado Cash on March 21, 2025.
