Audit log

Every state-changing event for Rahul Ravinder Malhotra: 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: 50 → 50 (no score change)
   The page makes mostly negative claims (nothing found) and one positive biographical claim. The biographical claim matches a second-hand summary of the cited article, which I could not open. My own searches found no adverse information. The name-collision caveat is appropriate. Several negative claims have no cited sources.

   Score: 50 → 35 (-15)
   The review checked two claims. claim_findings[0], the June 2024 Prabhudas Lilladher appointment, was only partly supported because the cited article could not be opened and was confirmed second-hand. claim_findings[1], that no enforcement records exist, could not be confirmed because the page cites no source for it, although the reviewer's own searches found nothing adverse. That puts 1 of 2 claims (50%) in the unverified category, which falls in the significant-issues band. Because the sample is tiny, the reviewer's confidence is 0.5 and nothing contradicts the page, the penalty is set at the mild end of the band and the page is not delisted.

   This is a clearance-style page concluding there is no credible evidence tying any 'Rahul Ravinder Malhotra' to crypto risk, and independent re-checking supports that conclusion: broad searches for the name plus crypto, fraud, SEC/CFTC/DOJ/OFAC/SEBI terms all come back empty, and the one specific factual claim on the page — the June 2024 Prabhudas Lilladher CBDO appointment — is corroborated by the cited HR Today article (a low-tier but on-point source). The main defect is evidentiary thinness on the name-collision side: the LinkedIn 'dozens of distinct profiles' claim could not be independently verified because LinkedIn blocks automated access, and the cited Radaris URL has gone dead (the domain was seized under a New Jersey court judgment and no longer hosts any public-records content), though the page's own source metadata had already marked it unarchivable. No material omissions were identified since the page is transparent about the limits of what it could find.

   Score: 67 → 67 (no score change)
   The page is heavily hedged and honest about its thin sourcing. The firm-level SEBI fine and the SEBI ban with its SAT stay are supported by the cited news sources. The core appointment claim rests on a single aggregator page that returned 403, so it is unverified rather than refuted. No contradicting evidence was found, and the page does not tie the firm's enforcement history to the individual.

   Of four claims reviewed, three were confirmed (claim_findings[1], [2], [3]) and none were disputed. The remaining one, the reported June 2024 appointment (claim_findings[0]), could not be checked because the source refused access (HTTP 403). It is excluded from the dispute rate and is a coverage limit, not a defect. The page states openly that this claim rests on one low-credibility source. No omissions were found and the subject status does not contradict the page.
