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.

However, two material errors require correction. First, claim_findings[10] identifies criminal co-defendants incorrectly as 'former Chief Product Officer' and 'former Chief Financial Officer' when they are actually Oliver Bellenhaus and Stephan von Erffa. Second, and more critical, the page presents the September 2024 Munich appellate court pari passu ruling (claim_findings[25]) as current law, but the Federal Court of Justice reversed this ruling on 13 November 2025, subordinating shareholder claims to general creditors. This reversal materially changes recovery prospects for approximately 50,000 shareholders and must be reflected.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
