Fact-check findings

What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read EQIBank against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.

Read this first

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.

No source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.

  1. #3[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Civil Forfeiture Action — Capstone Ltd. (July 2026)
    “The forfeiture complaint also alleges that Capstone's accounts were used by fraudsters impersonating FBI agents to convert stolen funds into stablecoins, though this allegation is directed at Capstone's infrastructure and not at EQIBank specifically.”

  2. #8[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Securities Fraud Civil Lawsuit (February 2026)
    “docket 2:25-cv-12208 (Central District of California)”
    reviewerBeyond Enterprises LLC suit, docket 2:25-cv-12208, filed around February 2026Not fetched; Law.com Radar is typically paywalled. Docket prefix '25-cv' suggests a 2025 filing, which sits oddly with a February 2026 filing date; worth a human check.

2 claims

The cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.

  1. #1[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Civil Forfeiture Action — Capstone Ltd. (July 2026)
    “On July 15, 2026, U.S. federal prosecutors filed a civil forfeiture complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, case 2:26-mc-00208,”
    reviewerProsecutors filed the civil forfeiture complaint on July 15, 2026 in E.D. Cal. against about $84.2MDate, court and total are supported. The number 2:26-mc-00208 comes from the Justia URL, which is EQIBank Limited v. United States (a miscellaneous matter filed by EQIBank), so it may not be the docket of the forfeiture complaint itself. Justia docket was not fetched.

  2. #6[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Relationship with Tether and Bitfinex
    “characterized its total exposure as less than 0.034% of Tether Group's consolidated assets — estimated by analysts at approximately $63.8 million based on Tether's reported $187.75 billion in assets at the time”
    reviewerTether exposure under 0.034% of assets, about $63.8M on $187.75BPercentage and total assets are right. 'Estimated by analysts at approximately' slightly overstates; it is an upper bound computed by the article.

    reviewerFSU placed EQIBank under enhanced supervision June 5, 2026; Burke declaration says roughly 80% and preliminary step toward liquidationSupported. The 80% figure is EQIBank's own claim (the page attributes it to Burke's declaration). The summary states it as 'the bank states', which is fine.

How this fits together. The reviewer reads the published page and its cited sources and records one finding per claim. A human moderator decides whether each proposed correction is applied; those decisions, and the score changes they cause, appear in the audit log. Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
