Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read PT Digi Global Konsultan 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.
disputed
3 claimsThe reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. This is a lead, not a ruling that the claim is false.

“In May 2026, a separate FBI-led international operation resulted in 276 arrests and the seizure of $701 million across nine crypto scam centers globally.”
reviewerIn May 2026, a separate FBI-led international operation resulted in 276 arrests and the seizure of $701 million across nine crypto scam centers globally (date).Both cited sources and the underlying DOJ announcement date this operation to April 29, 2026, not May 2026.Proposed correction (not yet applied)In April 2026, a separate FBI-led international operation resulted in 276 arrests and the seizure of $701 million across nine crypto scam centers globally. - #19[disputed][awaiting moderator]in section: Broader Context: Global Pig-Butchering Enforcement
“In May 2026, a separate FBI-led international operation resulted in 276 arrests and the seizure of $701 million across nine crypto scam centers globally.”
reviewer...and the seizure of $701 million across nine crypto scam centers globally (dollar figure).The $701 million figure does not appear in either of the page's two cited sources. It surfaces only in lower-credibility secondary blogs (e.g. cipherssecurity.com, breached.company) describing 'frozen' rather than 'seized' crypto, and is absent from DOJ/IRS releases and from mainstream coverage (Security Boulevard, CrowdfundInsider, BleepingComputer). The page cites this specific figure to sources that do not contain it.Proposed correction (not yet applied)In May 2026, a separate FBI-led international operation resulted in 276 arrests across nine crypto scam centers globally. - #20[disputed][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
“2026-05-31”
reviewerThe syndicate's operation concluded (end of active fraud period) on May 31, 2026.This entry contradicts the page's own timeline[1], which places the arrest of all 39 suspects on May 20, 2026 — the syndicate could not have continued active fraud operations for 11 more days after its entire staff was arrested. No source gives a specific end date of May 31; the cited source only says 'to May 2026.' The arrest date is the best-supported effective end point.Proposed correction (not yet applied)2026-05-20
unverifiable
2 claimsNo source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.
- #9[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Victims and Financial Impact
“No victim names have been disclosed by authorities.”
reviewerNo victim names have been disclosed by authorities.Consistent with the absence of victim names in every source reviewed, but no source explicitly states that authorities have withheld or will withhold names, so this cannot be positively confirmed. - #10[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Victims and Financial Impact
“The FBI, the Criminal Investigation Agency, and the International Relations Division of Indonesian National Police are reported to be cooperating in the investigation to obtain victim testimony.”
reviewerThe FBI, the Criminal Investigation Agency, and the International Relations Division of Indonesian National Police are cooperating to obtain victim testimony.The sole cited source could not be accessed. Independent reporting confirms Bareskrim ('Criminal Investigation Agency') coordination but does not explicitly name an 'International Relations Division' by that title, so this is left unverifiable rather than disputed.
partially supported
1 claimThe cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.
- #13[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Arrests and Suspect Composition
“Monthly salaries reportedly ranged from Rp15 million to Rp20 million (approximately $840–$1,120 USD).”
reviewerMonthly salaries for suspects ranged from Rp15 million to Rp20 million (~$840-$1,120 USD).One of the page's own cited sources (ikonser.id) matches the stated range exactly, but another of its cited sources (The Star) reports a lower floor (Rp10 million), and a third outlet found independently cites a still wider range. The page presents one figure from conflicting source reporting without flagging the discrepancy.
confirmed

“Among those named as suspects in the model role is Febiola Elizabeth, identified by Indonesian media as a former model and public figure.”
reviewerFebiola Elizabeth is named as a suspect in the model role and is identified by Indonesian media as a former model/public figure.Confirmed by both Indonesian-language outlets; the page's hedged phrasing ('alleged') is appropriate given the suspect status. - #7[confirmed][no action needed]in section: Victims and Financial Impact
“Indonesian authorities confirmed that at least 133 individuals were defrauded, with total proceeds extracted amounting to $2,327,625.85 USD, equivalent to approximately Rp41.1 billion.”

“The victims were predominantly US citizens, which prompted Indonesian police to request FBI assistance for victim identification and statement collection.”
reviewerVictims were predominantly US citizens, prompting an FBI assistance request.The primary cited URL (The Online Citizen) could not be fetched (403), but the core claim is independently corroborated by The Star and Tempo. - #11[confirmed][no action needed]in section: Arrests and Suspect Composition
“Central Java Police arrested 39 suspects on May 20, 2026.”
reviewerCentral Java Police arrested 39 suspects on May 20, 2026, comprising 28 Indonesians, 7 Nepalese, and 4 Myanmar nationals.Majority of sources (The Star, Poros Nusantara, afu.id) agree on May 20, 2026 and the 39-suspect breakdown, though a minority of Indonesian outlets (Kumparan, RCTI+) report 38 suspects with a 27/4/7 split and arrest dates ranging May 19-22; the page's figures match the majority and most authoritative (police-briefing-based) reporting. - #12[confirmed][no action needed]in section: Arrests and Suspect Composition

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.
