Audit log

Every state-changing event for GeniusAI: 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.

   Score: 60 → 60 (no score change)
   The core exploit facts (May 5 2024, about $1.27M, Discord-derived key, Axelar bridge, 100M counterfeit tokens) are corroborated. The 80% coverage figure is wrongly attributed to CertiK. The bounty, $1 repurchase and buyback-and-burn details were not found in the cited sources I read, and the ZachXBT flag is unsupported by any cited source. Price figures are out of date. Founder background and corporate history claims were not checked. The subject is still operating.

   Score: 60 → 60 (no score change)
   The core exploit account (May 5, 2024, about $1.27M, Discord-derived key, 100M counterfeit tokens) was corroborated by two sources (claim_findings[0]). However, 3 of 7 checked claims (about 43%) were disputed or could not be verified: the 80% remediation figure is attributed to CertiK but is the project's own goal (claim_findings[1]), the bounty, $1 repurchase and buyback details were not found in the cited sources (claim_findings[2]), and the ZachXBT flag, which is repeated in the page summary, is not supported by any cited source (claim_findings[4]). The price range is also out of date (claim_findings[6]). The penalty sits at the milder end of the band because the reviewer's confidence is moderate (0.5), the central exploit facts hold, and the only omission (contract proxy risk) is minor. A high-priority gap remains: no on-chain evidence such as transaction hashes or attacker addresses.
