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 core facts were confirmed by primary sources: the SEC filing details, the sentencing date, and the forfeiture orders (claim_findings[0], [3], [4]). Two further claims were only partly supported: the CFTC $87M and $174M breakdown was not found in the cited sources (claim_findings[1]), and the bankruptcy case number may belong to the Wyoming affiliate rather than the Florida entity (claim_findings[2]). The page's omission of the plea restitution and forfeiture amounts is minor, and the subject status (Chapter 11, guilty plea) matches the page.","reviewer_def_hash":"3839668b232611e5b26db72079d64745f8e57e919b8a379e79b44ba4a52c845b","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":15,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
