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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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). 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 at claim_findings[36], labeled tier-3 on-page) or the gap is presentational rather than substantive (claim_findings[25] omits Petrillo's COO role when presenting him as a victim; claim_findings[21] conflates the bankruptcy liability ceiling with confirmed fraud losses). The specific March 1 self-surrender date in claim_findings[8] could not be independently confirmed from accessible sources, but the self-surrender fact itself is confirmed. One DOJ URL returns HTTP 403 but is fully mirrored by a live IRS companion page. No findings from any independent source contradict the page's content. The single high-priority coverage gap (independent on-chain analysis of Coinbase wallet transfers) is an expansion suggestion, not a factual deficiency.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":7,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
