Fact-check findings

What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read XBridge against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.

Read this first

These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.

“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.

Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.

stale

2 claims

The claim was accurate when written but events since have overtaken it.

  1. #1[stale][awaiting moderator]in section: Parent Company: SEC and DOJ Charges Against Saitama LLC
    “Kohli was arrested in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2024, and appeared in London court for extradition proceedings. He has sought dismissal of the charges, challenging SEC jurisdiction.”
    reviewerKohli appeared in London court for extradition proceedings and has sought dismissal of charges; page leaves out that both have since been decided against himPage presents the extradition and dismissal motion as pending; more recent reporting shows both were ruled on. The Oct 7 arrest date was not checked in a fetched source. The correction relies on a secondary outlet and a search summary, so the judge should weigh that.
    Proposed correction (not yet applied)
    Kohli was arrested in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2024, and appeared in London court for extradition proceedings. A UK judge rejected his challenge to extradition on August 19, 2026, and the case went to UK ministers for a final decision. A federal judge in Boston rejected his attempt to dismiss the U.S. indictment.

The cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.

  1. #5[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Smart Contract Exploit (April 2024)
    “Total losses were approximately $1.44 million: approximately $830,920 on Ethereum and $416,231 on BNB Chain.”
    reviewerLoss figures: $1.44M total with $830,920 on Ethereum and $416,231 on BNB ChainThe two chain figures sum to about $1.247M, not $1.44M, so the sentence is internally inconsistent. The source was blocked, so the correct breakdown could not be determined.

    “The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Tornado Cash in August 2022; use of the mixer following that date constitutes a potential violation of U.S. sanctions law for U.S. persons.”
    reviewerTornado Cash was sanctioned by OFAC in August 2022; use by U.S. persons is a potential violationThe August 2022 designation is well known. The page calls Tornado Cash a currently sanctioned service. From my background knowledge, a US appeals court ruled against the sanctions in 2024 and Treasury delisted Tornado Cash in March 2025. I did not fetch a source for that, so I only flag it. Neither Treasury page was fetched.

How this fits together. The reviewer reads the published page and its cited sources and records one finding per claim. A human moderator decides whether each proposed correction is applied; those decisions, and the score changes they cause, appear in the audit log. Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
