Audit log

Every state-changing event for Roberto Zibert: 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.

The complaint alleges that between 2018 and 2021, Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Polygon (POL) belonging to customers were transferred out of company-controlled wallets to accounts and platforms outside Orionx's custody. According to reporting on the complaint, an account associated with Díaz allegedly received more than $1.5 million across 14 transfers on the account 'Binance Joaco,' while a separate wallet associated with a 'Luis Zibert/Incremental' account allegedly received 187 ETH and more than $4.3 million in USDT and USDC stablecoins; the complaint also references 79 BTC allegedly moved through an account linked to Zibert on the Celsius platform. A Deloitte forensic audit commissioned by Orionx put the total documented loss at approximately $6.066 million across four assets (BTC, ETH, XRP, POL), a figure that is sometimes reported in the press as 'more than $7 million.' Zibert and Díaz have categorically denied the allegations, stating in a message sent directly to Orionx customers: 'We categorically reject the charges against us... We have never acted against our clients' interests... To date there is no certainty or clarity about the company's accounting discrepancy.' As of this writing, the matter is an active criminal investigation with no judicial finding of guilt against Zibert.","heading":"Criminal complaint filed by Orionx against Zibert","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Cointelegraph — Tether-Backed Orionx Shuts Down After $7M Custody Gap","type":"news_article","url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/orionx-shut-down-7-million-move-outside-wallets"},{"credibility":2,"name":"La Tercera — Las operaciones que llevaron al abrupto cierre de la plataforma de criptomonedas OrionX","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.latercera.com/pulso/noticia/las-operaciones-que-llevaron-al-abrupto-cierre-de-la-plataforma-de-criptomonedas-orionx/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"La Tercera — Cierra plataforma de criptomonedas OrionX y acusa a exsocios de irregularidades por US$7 millones","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.latercera.com/pulso/noticia/cierra-plataforma-de-criptomonedas-orionx-y-acusa-a-exsocios-de-irregularidades-por-us7-millones/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"La Cuarta — ¿Qué pasa con OrionX?: Fundadores acusados rechazan 'categóricamente' los cargos en su contra","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.lacuarta.com/chile/noticia/que-pasa-con-orionx-fundadores-acusados-rechazan-categoricamente-los-cargos-en-su-contra/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Diario Financiero — Cierre de Orionx suma nueva querella criminal contra sus exsocios y tensiona a la industria cripto","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.df.cl/mercados/bolsa-monedas/cierre-de-orionx-suma-nueva-querella-criminal-contra-sus-exsocios-y"}]},{"content":"According to Chilean press reporting, Orionx co-founder Joel Vainstein took over as the company's general manager/CEO in January 2025 amid an internal push to comply with Chile's Fintech Law, and Thomas Mac Millan was named chief operating officer in March 2025. On August 27, 2025, Mac Millan allegedly detected a significant mismatch between customer balances recorded in Orionx's internal systems and the assets actually held in company-controlled custody wallets. An internal ad hoc committee investigation followed, reportedly concluding around November 14, 2025, after which Orionx commissioned an external forensic audit from Deloitte that compared internal ledgers against on-chain blockchain data. That audit confirmed the mismatch and identified numerous transactions with 'inexistent or altered' identifiers, according to reporting on the case. The roughly year-long gap between initial detection (August 2025) and the public disclosure and criminal complaint (September 2026) has not been fully explained in public reporting.","heading":"Discovery of the custody gap and internal investigation","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"La Tercera — Las operaciones que llevaron al abrupto cierre de la plataforma de criptomonedas OrionX","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.latercera.com/pulso/noticia/las-operaciones-que-llevaron-al-abrupto-cierre-de-la-plataforma-de-criptomonedas-orionx/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"La Tercera — Quién es la fiscal detrás de caso OrionX y las diligencias pendientes que encomendó la empresa","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.latercera.com/pulso/noticia/quien-es-la-fiscal-detras-de-caso-orionx-y-las-diligencias-pendientes-que-encomendo-la-empresa/"}]},{"content":"The case has been assigned to prosecutor Camila López of Chile's Specialized Eastern (Oriente) Investigation Prosecution Office, a unit that handles corruption and economic crimes; López reportedly joined the Public Ministry in 2017 and became a prosecutor in 2025. Orionx's complaint reportedly requests that prosecutors obtain witness statements from Zibert and Díaz, lift bank secrecy on their personal accounts and related business entities, recover system access credentials for platforms including Fireblocks, AWS, and Google Workspace, recover two company-issued laptops, and request transaction and counterparty data from international exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Celsius, and Kraken. Separately, at least one Orionx customer, identified in press reports as Pedro Molleda, has filed his own complaint over an unrecovered bitcoin investment and has asked prosecutors to evaluate Orionx's potential criminal liability as a corporate entity, distinct from the liability of the individual former executives.","heading":"Prosecutorial process and investigative requests","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"La Tercera — Quién es la fiscal detrás de caso OrionX y las diligencias pendientes que encomendó la empresa","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.latercera.com/pulso/noticia/quien-es-la-fiscal-detras-de-caso-orionx-y-las-diligencias-pendientes-que-encomendo-la-empresa/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Diario Financiero — Cierre de Orionx suma nueva querella criminal contra sus exsocios y tensiona a la industria cripto","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.df.cl/mercados/bolsa-monedas/cierre-de-orionx-suma-nueva-querella-criminal-contra-sus-exsocios-y"}]},{"content":"Chile's Comisión para el Mercado Financiero (CMF), the country's financial markets regulator, was not supervising Orionx at the time of its collapse. CMF president Catherine Tornel stated that in June 2026 the regulator had already rejected Orionx's application for registration and authorization under Chile's Fintech Law and issued a public alert that the company was not authorized to provide regulated financial services. Because Orionx operated outside the CMF's regulatory perimeter, the regulator has stated it cannot supervise or compel the company's closure and restitution process; the CMF has said the obligation to return client funds falls on the entity itself, and that affected customers retain civil and criminal legal remedies but no regulator-backed compensation scheme, deposit insurance, or guaranteed recovery mechanism exists for crypto assets in Chile. Orionx has said it has begun a multi-stage closure and restitution plan but has explicitly warned customers that full recovery of funds is not guaranteed.
