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.

Core facts — guilty pleas, charge details, dollar figures, dates, and named individuals — are confirmed by IRS CI and DOJ primary sources and corroborated by multiple credible news outlets. The two most significant issues are: (1) the page omits LASD deputy Michael David Coberg entirely, who is the deputy directly responsible for the $127,000 extortion cited in the text; and (2) the status of Saif Faiq as 'not guilty' is now stale, as he pleaded guilty on or around June 9, 2026. A minor date ambiguity exists around the Connecticut guilty plea (June 1 vs. June 2, 2026), with most sources pointing to June 1.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
