Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read Key Coin Assets Ltd 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.
unverifiable
1 claimNo source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.
- #19[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: False Asset Declarations at Companies House
“No criminal charges have been publicly announced as of the date of this investigation; the winding-up order is a civil insolvency remedy.”
reviewerNo criminal charges have been publicly announced; the winding-up order is a civil insolvency remedy.This is a negative/absence claim. All sources reviewed are silent on criminal proceedings, which is consistent with the page's characterisation, but a true negative cannot be conclusively confirmed from open-source review alone.
partially supported
3 claimsThe cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.

“Rodney Arthur Hilditch (British national, born May 1948) was appointed director in February 2021, briefly resigned, and was reappointed in April 2021.”
reviewerRodney Arthur Hilditch was appointed director in February 2021, briefly resigned, and was reappointed in April 2021.The basic Feb-appointment/resign/April-reappoint sequence is in the record, but Companies House shows a third, later active appointment entry (22 July 2021) for the same person that the page omits, and the register's two overlapping 'active' appointment dates (22 Apr and 22 Jul 2021) make the true current appointment date ambiguous. Not confident enough to propose a specific correction. - #20[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Current Status
“As of 11 August 2026 Key Coin Assets Ltd is in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver has been appointed as liquidator.”
reviewerAs of 11 August 2026 Key Coin Assets Ltd is in compulsory liquidation; the Official Receiver has been appointed as liquidator.The underlying claim is true and fully confirmed by the GOV.UK primary source. However, the second citation, K2 Partners, does not corroborate it as retrieved -- it presents the matter as still pending, which appears to be a stale or unsynced record. Recommend dropping K2 Partners as a citation for this claim (or replacing it with the Companies House overview showing status 'Liquidation') rather than treating it as supporting evidence. - #22[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
“Rodney Arthur Hilditch reappointed director (brief resignation and reappointment cycle recorded at Companies House).”
reviewerTimeline: Rodney Arthur Hilditch reappointed director on 2021-04-22, described as a brief resignation and reappointment cycle.The 22 April 2021 date is present in the record, but the register additionally shows an active appointment dated 22 July 2021 for Hilditch that this timeline entry does not capture, and the two active entries dated 22 Apr and 22 Jul 2021 make it unclear which reflects the operative reappointment. Not proposing a specific date correction given this ambiguity.

reviewerCompanies House filings claimed assets worth as much as £42 million, inconsistent with the company's actual banking activity.Verbatim match to primary 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.
