What we investigate — three views, one methodology

Modern schemes rarely live on-chain only. More and more targets show a split-asset pattern: a crypto project on one side, a traditional corporate structure on the other, intertwined. We investigate both sides to the same evidence-tiered standard — source-levelled claims, a Decision/Exposure Matrix, Confidence % and Evidence Coverage %, and a reproducible source chain.

What makes us different: every red flag published with its source and evidence tier, on-chain receipts, and a named human editor. No hype.

A classic illustration of the split-asset pattern outside crypto: a listed company whose market value rests largely on Bitcoin reserves (the MicroStrategy-type setup) — a company view alone or a token view alone each tell only half the story.

What we actually check

The decisive test: where do the payouts come from — not whether a “product” exists.

€0 · FREE

In your free Quick Scan

  • 🔴 Fixed weekly/daily “yield” on a product that doesn’t exist yet
  • 🔴 Tiered buy-in packages; bigger pay-in = bigger “slot/pool”
  • 🔴 Recruitment/affiliate commissions (“ask whoever invited you”)
  • 🔴 Offshore/opaque entity + no regulator licence
  • 🔴 Contract ≠ marketing: the promised yield isn’t in the T&C

Verdict + the strongest red flags, the decisive payout test and regulator status — every claim sourced, delivered by email.

Plus free monitoring: watch up to 3 projects — automatic alerts every 6 hours on liquidity pulls, whale moves and team-wallet activity.

🌐 PUBLIC · NO SIGNUP · FULLY SOURCED CRITICAL RISK ⛔

Blockchain Sports / Atleta · $ATLA

Recruitment-based “sports Web3” scheme · on-chain + registry OSINT · re-verified 2026-09-08

Critical risk — but the red flags signal risk, not proven fraud; where our own earlier claims failed re-verification, we corrected them publicly.

  • The quoted ~$126 price and ~$105M “market cap” are a single-exchange fiction: ~100% of volume sits on one CEX, the 24h volume is ~1,000× the visible order-book depth (a wash-trading pattern), DEX liquidity is dead (~$0.01–0.02) and the float is self-reported.
  • Collapse + forced migration: the $ATLA payout promised for 2026-08-17 was cancelled around 08-07, and holders are being pushed into “$ATQM” — which has no public on-chain contract (an internal voucher). The scheme’s own stated reason: the unlock would drop the price “from ~$150 to pennies”.
  • Regulator signals: “Blockchain Sports” is named on the Hungarian MNB market-surveillance warning list (2026-08-28); the only listing exchange operates under FCA / OSC / FSA / SFC warnings; no SEC registration found.
  • Recruitment-based revenue under a sports veneer: “node/staking packages” from ~200 to 115,000 USDT, in the documented rebrand chain Daisy Global → Blockchain Sports/Atleta → BoostyFi/ATOM Quantum.
🟢 Counter-signal & our own correction: the Atleta chain itself is REAL — a live, publicly auditable EVM chain. We previously called it a “facade” and corrected that; the red flag is the near-zero real usage (~0.07% utilization) behind the “vibrant ecosystem” marketing, not non-existence.

⚠️ Trap warning: the “ATLA” tokens tradable on ETH/BSC DEXes are NOT a way in or out — the ETH contract is honeypot-flagged and separately controlled, and both DEX pools are dead. $ATLA only truly “trades” on one CEX.

How we investigate

Every assessment is built from primary evidence — sourced, dated and tiered — then independently cross-checked before anything is published. Our method runs 16 sharp passes grouped into three layers, plus 1 cross-cutting red-flag layer (the independent QC & cross-check below); the on-chain passes (9–13) are measurable, not theoretical:

1–8

Structure & money model

The MLM/Ponzi core: fixed periodic “yield” on a product that doesn't exist yet; tiered buy-in packages; recruitment/affiliate commissions; no usable standalone product; manufactured scarcity & urgency; borrowed credibility; offshore/opaque entities operating unlicensed; and contract ≠ marketing — the promised yield is missing from the binding T&C.

9–13

On-chain (measurable)

Read directly from the blockchain: contract flags (unverified source, owner-mint/blacklist/pause rights, honeypot — can't sell); token distribution & holder concentration; unlocked or thin liquidity (rug vector); trading integrity (wash-trading, bot-driven price); and fund-flow — where deposits actually go, with lineage to earlier schemes. On-chain detection is live in our scans.

14–16

Trust, identity & exit

Fake trust signals (unverifiable “audit”, fabricated “KYC/verified” badges, vanity awards, phantom partnerships); team & identity (anonymous / stock-photo / reused identities, reverse-image failures, unverifiable credentials); exit barriers (withdrawal lock-ups, moving goalposts, withdrawal fees/blocks, support going silent); and technical infra-fingerprinting & cross-linking — TLS-cert / favicon / tracker-ID / hosting-IP and code-repo provenance that surfaces the hidden operator cluster behind whois-privacy.

AUDIT-GRADE QC

Why this is B2B/audit-defensible — not just a watchdog blog

T1–T4 source tiering

  • T1 — primary on-chain / official registry data
  • T2 — independent editorial & regulator lists
  • T3 — corroborated secondary reporting
  • T4 — self-published / project claims (treated as claims, not facts)

QC rigor

  • Every load-bearing claim tagged [FACT] / [INFERENCE] / [ASSUMPTION] with source + date
  • Single-watchdog-dependence disclosed — if a claim rests on one source, we say so
  • Live re-verification against the primary source before publication
  • We report what we found — and what we could not confirm

What we publish: sourced red flags and risk levels — not verdicts of guilt. A red flag is not proven fraud, and none of this is investment advice.

Research consistently shows the majority of participants suffer losses. Red flags signal risk, not proven fraud. We document and source them so you can check before you pay. Proof of Scam — independent consumer-protection information, not financial advice.

Proven on real cases — sandbox pilots

Before offering company (KYB) investigations, we validated the methodology on three real pilot cases — including one on ourselves.

SANITIZED VERSION IN REVIEW

Pilot #1 — external entity behind a crypto-MLM engine

A full KYB run on a company powering a crypto-MLM scheme: registry data, UBO trail, regulator footprint. The public, sanitized report will be published here once it passes review.

SANITIZED VERSION IN REVIEW

Pilot #2 — a Canadian shell LLP

A jurisdiction where the law itself hides the owners: this pilot produced our rule that structural UBO data gaps must be declared up front — they cannot be bought away, and pretending otherwise would mislead you.

SANITIZED VERSION IN REVIEW

Pilot #3 — Proof of Scam, investigated by itself

We ran the exact same public-sources-only methodology on our own site, as a paying customer would see it. It found a real error on this very website — which we fixed, publicly. We repeat this self-audit every quarter.

How we work on company (KYB) investigations

  • Fixed report skeleton: executive summary → Decision/Exposure Matrix → KYB dimensions (identity, legal entity, UBO/ownership, sanctions/PEP, litigation & regulatory traces, reputation, size/financials) → “what would change this verdict” (falsifiability) → monitoring status → Confidence % / Evidence Coverage % → reproducible source chain.
  • Aggregator claims never stand alone. Commercial databases regularly produce false connections (one of our pilots refuted a name-collision “link” this way) — every aggregator-sourced claim must be confirmed by a primary (T1) source before it enters a report.
  • Watchdog press is used — and labelled. Where official registries are structurally opaque, watchdog sources can be the only usable signal; they are always marked “opinion, not an official fact” (T3), never upgraded silently.
  • Quarterly self-test. Proof of Scam audits its own site with this same methodology every quarter, and publishes the delta.

Not one of our verdicts stands without proof: public records, on-chain data, dated sources — every claim checkable. And when we call something critical, we don’t keep it to ourselves — we publish it in full, publicly. That’s not a courtesy. That’s consumer protection: everyone gets to check before they risk a cent.

Refund policy

Tiered refunds. 100% if the dossier’s main verdict (scam/legit) is provably wrong on a material point, with documented counter-evidence, within 14 days of purchase. 50% for a significant factual error that does not affect the main verdict. No refund for subjective disagreement, or where the verdict was correctly qualified (a red flag is not proven fraud). Process: submit your counter-evidence → compliance review within 5 business days → decision. This is a consumer-protection / educational service — not financial advice.

Ethics & independence

Our only incentive is being right. That's the whole business — and it's what separates us from the paid promoters.

✓

No sponsorships or paid promotions

We are never paid by a project to cover it — for or against. No sponsored segments, no “review” deals.

✓

No affiliate or referral links

We earn nothing when you sign up, buy or deposit anywhere. There are no referral codes in our reports.

✓

No positions in what we investigate

We hold no tokens in the projects we assess and we don't trade on our findings. This is not investment advice.

✓

Audience-funded

The work is funded by the people we protect — not by the industry we scrutinise. That keeps the verdict honest.

How we use AI

AI-assisted, not AI-generated. We use AI to work faster and check more — a named human owns every published word.

👤

Named human sign-off

Every report and video is approved by a named human editor before it goes out. No auto-publish.

🔍

Every claim human-verified

AI never fabricates evidence. Each fact — name, date, number, on-chain data — is checked against the real source by a person.

🗣️

Consented voice & likeness, disclosed

Where we use a synthetic voice or avatar it's the creator's own, with consent — and it's disclosed (GenAI-Safe).

For platforms & journalists — API

Exchanges, wallets, newsrooms: vet an offer programmatically. Same sourced methodology, as JSON.

Roadmap
