Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read FX Winning / David Merino Quintana 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.
unverifiable
1 claimNo source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.

“FXWinning began blocking customer withdrawals around February 2023”
reviewerSilver Miller, Blocktribune, Finance Magnates and the 2023 litigation details, the CNMV warnings and WikiFX closure notice were not independently fetchedI did not fetch these sources in this pass. This is a coverage limit, not a finding against the page. The page hedges its CNMV and closure-notice claims appropriately.
partially supported
2 claimsThe cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.

“Merino appears in an online video denying he kept any client funds and blaming José Lucas Cruz and Martin Nappa for diverting money.”
reviewerMerino's March 2026 video blamed Cruz and Martin Nappa (timeline entry cites Criptonoticias)The cited source supports the video and Cruz but not Nappa. Nappa may appear in another source I did not locate. Check the attribution. - #5[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Spanish Criminal Investigation: Operation Borrelli
“On Friday, June 27, 2025, Judge Antonio Piña of the Audiencia Nacional's Juzgado Central de Instrucción No. 6 questioned four of the detained suspects; two were released, and the judge ordered the other two into pretrial detention without bail”
reviewerOperation Borrelli involved searches and detentions; judge Antonio Piña questioned four, two jailed; two main leaders in the UAEThe core facts match. The judge's name and the operation name come from other cited sources I did not fully check. El Debate reports five arrests but four were questioned, a small gap the page does not state.
