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.

The principal inaccuracy is the summary's characterization that Fuller admitted to operating a Ponzi scheme 'in a September 2025 bankruptcy proceeding' — the admissions occurred during civil contempt proceedings preceding the August 1, 2025 default judgment, while September 2025 is only the date of the DOJ press release announcing that judgment. The page also slightly compresses two distinct return promises (40-50% within 30-45 days for most investors; 100%+ within 21 days for some) into a single range. Primary source documents (SEC release, DOJ press release, complaint PDF) all returned HTTP 403, so verification relied on secondary sources; however, the secondary source corpus is large, consistent, and draws from clearly identifiable primary documents.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
