Verify a decision
Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.
How verification works
- We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (
payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction. - We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
- You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is
AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

Thirty-three claims are fully confirmed, including all core allegations — arrest date and charges, scheme mechanics, $328 million raised, asset forfeiture specifics, and civil litigation parties — anchored to Tier 1 government sources (IRS Criminal Investigation and DOJ press releases). The single unverifiable item (claim_findings[8], the specific March 1 self-surrender date) is peripheral; the self-surrender itself is confirmed. Four claims are partially supported rather than fully confirmed, but in each case the page either appropriately hedges the uncertainty (the MLP/de Hek connection, claim_findings[36]) or the gap is presentational rather than substantive (claim_findings[25] omits Petrillo's COO role in the Victims section). No link rot, no stale sources, and no findings from any independent source contradict the page's content. Coverage gaps are medium-to-low priority and indicate areas for future expansion, not factual deficiencies.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
