Audit log

Every state-changing event for ETHTrustFund: moderation decisions on community submissions, plus corrections and updates from the news pipeline. URL-based decisions are designed to carry three independent witnesses — the original source, an Internet Archive snapshot, and a Solana memo signed by our publicly-disclosed publisher key. Archive coverage is still being backfilled, so each decision below reports its own snapshot status rather than assuming one exists.

   The core account holds. ETHTrustFund was a Base OHM fork that was rug pulled in July 2024 for about $2.1-2.2M, with Tornado Cash and Railgun laundering, and the project is defunct. Addresses and amounts match Rekt. Weak points are the second theft being dated July 20 rather than July 21, the unsourced ZachXBT flag stated flatly in the summary, the inferred April silence date, and an unreconciled 607 vs 456.9 ETH total.

   The core account holds: the July 2024 treasury drain of about 607 ETH, the project's abandonment, and the addresses and laundering routes are corroborated by several independent outlets (claim_findings[0], [3], [10]). About 21% of claims (3 of 14) were disputed or could not be verified. The timeline dates the second theft transfer to July 20 when Rekt places it on July 21 (claim_findings[2]). The summary also states a ZachXBT flag as fact with no source found (claim_findings[9]), and the March 14 launch date was not verified (claim_findings[12]). The reviewer also noted a minor unreconciled gap between the 607 ETH total and the 456.9 ETH of reported laundering flows. These are corrections to details, not to the central allegation, so a small penalty and a revision are warranted.
