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 vast majority of specific factual claims — founding date, lending launch, exposure figures, bankruptcy details, regulatory settlements, and lawsuit filings — are confirmed by primary sources (SEC press releases, NYAG press releases, law firm announcements) and major news outlets. Four claims are partially supported: the $37 million Alameda loan figure lacks independent corroboration; the $2.1 billion 'funneled out' coin characterization conflates the Delaware in-kind recovery claim with pre-bankruptcy fraudulent transfer allegations; the DCG counter-lawsuit is described as seeking 'repayment of the $1.1 billion promissory note' when the suit actually seeks ~$105 million in current installment payments; and the $3.3 billion lawsuit total is subject to minor variation in sources ($3.2B vs $3.3B). A notable coverage gap is the omission of the January 2025 SEC settlement in which DCG paid $38.5 million and Michael Moro paid $500,000 for misleading investors about Genesis's financial condition — this is a material regulatory action that should appear in any complete investigation.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":1,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
