Fact-check findings

What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read FOOM Cash 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.

The reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. This is a lead, not a ruling that the claim is false.

    “$420,000 in funds remains unrecovered.”
    reviewer$420,000 of funds remains unrecovered$320K + $100K = $420K equals the 2.26M minus 1.84M gap; it is payouts, not unrecovered stolen funds.

    $420,000 was paid out in the Duha bounty and Decurity fee.

  1. #9[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
    “Veil Cash, a smaller Base-network privacy protocol using the same Groth16 setup, is exploited via identical gamma/delta misconfiguration. A public post-mortem is published.”
    reviewerVeil Cash was exploited on 2026-02-20The exact date 2026-02-20 and the existence of a prior public post-mortem were not confirmed in the cited source.
  2. #10[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Security Exploit — February 26, 2026
    “Security blockchain firm BlockSec and research platform NomosLabs both identified the flaw as a Groth16 verifier misconfiguration.”
    reviewerBlockSec and NomosLabs identified the flawNot found in the fetched rekt.news or Cointelegraph articles; not checked against other outlets.
  3. #11[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
    “FOOM token records its all-time low price of $0.071455, indicating the token has been tradeable since at least this date.”
    reviewerAll-time low of $0.071455 on 2024-01-23 is higher than the all-time high of $0.061871Internally inconsistent: a stated all-time low of $0.071455 exceeds the stated all-time high of $0.061871, and a 175T supply at an $8.2M cap implies a per-token price near $5e-11. CoinGecko could not be read, so no correction is proposed. The price figures need re-extraction.

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.
