Fact-check findings

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

    “Sun invested ~$75M”
    reviewerSun invested ~$75M in WLFICited CoinDesk article says $45M, not $75M. Reports also say purchases spanned 2024 and 2025, so 'after the 2024 election' is not clearly supported either.

    reviewerSun's lawsuit concerns $700M in frozen tokensThe cited source gives no dollar value. Other outlets cite values of roughly $240M to $1B+ depending on date and price. The $700M figure (also in the summary) could not be traced.

The claim was accurate when written but events since have overtaken it.

    reviewerJustin Sun currently faces SEC fraud charges; Rainberry/TRON settled for $10MPage says Sun still faces charges, but the cited source says the SEC agreed to drop all claims against him. Court approval status not confirmed, so the correction is hedged.

    reviewerWLFI froze ~2.94B tokens tied to Sun using a blacklist functionApproximately 2.9B tokens and blacklist function are consistent with the suit's allegations, but they are Sun's allegations; WLFI says the freeze function was disclosed in its terms. Page presents them as fact.

    “A $1.25M rug pull incident affected the JUST ecosystem in October 2022.”
    reviewerRug pull involving JST: ~4,600 BNB ($1.25M) to Tornado Cash, 2,555 BNB ($693K) remaining, October 2022Figures match, but the summary states a rug pull as established fact and the 'JUST ecosystem' attribution is not established. The Rug Pull section's own wording ('appeared to be') is appropriately hedged; the section's 'JST token on BNB chain' is not stated by the source.

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.
