Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read CoinStats 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.
disputed
2 claimsThe reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. This is a lead, not a ruling that the claim is false.
- #1[disputed][awaiting moderator]in section: On-Chain Fund Movement and Tornado Cash
“approximately 211 ETH (nearly $1 million at the time)”
reviewerExploiter wallets sent about 211 ETH (nearly $1 million) to Tornado CashThe cited Cointelegraph article gives 311 ETH (211 + 100), roughly $959k. The page's figure is the single-wallet amount.Proposed correction (not yet applied)approximately 311 ETH (about $959,000 at the time) - #2[disputed][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
“On-chain analysts observe approximately 211 ETH (~$1M) transferred from attacker wallets to Tornado Cash mixer.”
reviewerTimeline: about 211 ETH (~$1M) moved to Tornado CashSame amount error as the section text. The 2024-06-25 date could not be confirmed; the cited article was published July 10, 2024.Proposed correction (not yet applied)On-chain analysts observe approximately 311 ETH (~$959K) transferred from attacker wallets to Tornado Cash mixer.
unverifiable
3 claimsNo source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.
- #6[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Overview
“The company raised $4.4 million in funding from investors including Hack VC and Imperii Partners.”
reviewerFunding of $4.4 million from Hack VC and Imperii PartnersThe cited legelata.am URL is titled 'raised 3.2 million', and the timeline also says $3.2M. The page is internally inconsistent ($4.4M vs $3.2M) and I did not find a source for $4.4M. - #7[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Notable Victims and Collateral Market Impact
“which held 3,657 Maker (MKR) tokens valued at approximately $8.7 million at the time of theft”
reviewerBlurr.eth wallet lost 3,657 MKR (~$8.7M), causing a 7% MKR price dropNot checked against the cited sources within this review. The page's own speculation that this loss was outside CoinStats' tally is inference, not sourced. - #8[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Platform Response and Infrastructure Rebuild
“no public record of an executed compensation program or confirmed reimbursements to victims has been identified in available reporting as of mid-2026”
reviewerNo public record of executed compensation or reimbursementsA negative claim. Consistent with 2024 coverage, but a Forklog snippet claims compensation was announced, so reports conflict. Nothing found for 2025-2026.
stale
1 claimThe claim was accurate when written but events since have overtaken it.
- #3[stale][awaiting moderator]in section: On-Chain Fund Movement and Tornado Cash
“to Tornado Cash, a sanctioned cryptocurrency mixer”
reviewerTornado Cash is a sanctioned mixerPresent-tense 'sanctioned' is out of date. It was sanctioned in 2022 and delisted on 2025-03-21. The later sentence 'The transfer to a sanctioned mixer' has the same issue.Proposed correction (not yet applied)to Tornado Cash, a cryptocurrency mixer that was sanctioned by OFAC until March 2025
partially supported
1 claimThe cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.
- #4[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Lazarus Group Attribution
