About this site

Why this site exists

This site was built to consolidate publicly reported information about Gurhan Kiziloz, his ventures, and the regulatory and investigative record around them.

As of 2026, that record is spread across dozens of news outlets, regulator filings, court records, blockchain investigations, employee testimonies, and community forums. Anyone trying to piece together the full picture currently has to read through several years of coverage across roughly 75 separate sources — many of which are buried under a deliberate volume of sponsored content that paints a very different picture.

This site brings the record together in one place.

We do not allege any criminal conduct on the part of any named individual or entity. We aggregate, attribute, and source. The conclusions belong to the reader.

Editorial standards

We hold ourselves to the following standards across every page on this site:

Every factual claim is sourced

Every assertion of fact links to its source — a regulator filing, a news article, a court record, or a primary document. If a claim cannot be sourced, it is not on this site. Source attribution appears inline next to the claim, in the page footnotes, or in the comprehensive source library at /sources.

Allegations are clearly attributed

Where a claim is allegation rather than fact, it is attributed to its original source. We use language like "ZachXBT alleges," "DL News reported," "former employees describe," "the FCA issued a warning that." We do not adopt allegations as our own conclusions. The distinction between fact and allegation is preserved deliberately and consistently.

Primary sources are weighted highest

Our hierarchy of evidence, from most to least authoritative:

1. Regulator filings — the FCA, the Seychelles FSA, the Advertising Standards Authority, Companies House. These are official public-record documents.
2. Court records and judgments — winding-up petitions, liquidation orders, judgments from the High Court of Justice in London.
3. Investigative journalism from credentialled outlets — DL News, Sifted, FinTech Futures, BusinessCloud, Tech.eu, eFinancialCareers.
4. On-chain analysis from named investigators with established public track records (e.g. ZachXBT).
5. Named employee testimony from public platforms (Glassdoor reviews, named interviews).
6. Reputation-investigation sites — CyberCriminal.com, Finance Scam, LegalObserver, and similar. We include these as supporting context but do not treat them as primary evidence. Their own editorial provenance is sometimes unclear.
7. Sponsored or paid placement content — Jerusalem Post sponsored articles, Insider Monkey, Punch Nigeria, DailyCoin, Crypto.news sponsored pieces, ABC Money, Finbold. These are clearly labelled on the Sources page. Their volume and uniformity is itself part of the story.

Sponsored content is labelled

We include sponsored placements on the Sources page for completeness — they document the promotional counter-narrative — but we tag them clearly and do not treat them as independent reporting.

Corrections are made promptly

If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction. Corrections issued to date are documented at the bottom of this page.

Right of Reply

If you are an individual or representative of an entity named on this site and wish to provide a response, correction, or rebuttal, please see our dedicated Right of Reply page.

Substantive responses will be published. We commit to publishing rebuttals in good faith and giving them comparable prominence to the original claim being rebutted.

This commitment is not contingent on whether we agree with the response.

What this site is not

• Not legal or financial advice. Nothing on this site should be taken as advice. If you have lost money or believe you have been the victim of fraud, consult a qualified solicitor or attorney.
• Not affiliated with any of the individuals or entities discussed. We are an independent publication.
• Not affiliated with any of the investigators, journalists, or regulators whose work we cite. Where we cite ZachXBT, DL News, the FCA, the Seychelles FSA, or anyone else, we do so as independent readers of their public work. None of them endorse this site or contributed to its creation.
• Not an investment recommendation platform. We do not recommend buying, holding, or selling any cryptocurrency, security, or other asset.
• Not a forum for personal attacks. The patterns and allegations documented here concern business conduct, regulatory record, and public statements. Comments on the Ratings page are moderated to that standard.

Methodology

For each named venture covered on this site — Lanistar, WPRO, Big Eyes Coin, BlockDAG, Megaposta, Spartans.com, Nexus International, and the broader memecoin portfolio — we follow the same research process:

1. Identify the venture's own public positioning. What does the company say about itself? What are its publicly-stated claims about revenue, users, technology, leadership, regulatory status?
2. Locate the primary regulatory record. Has any regulator taken action? Filed a warning? Granted or revoked a license? We use the regulator's own public statements, not press reports of them.
3. Locate any court record. Companies House filings, winding-up petitions, liquidation orders, judgments.
4. Collect independent journalism. Long-form investigative pieces from credentialled outlets, weighted by the rigour of the outlet.
5. Collect on-chain evidence. For crypto ventures, the public blockchain provides a verifiable record of flows. We cite analysts who have done this work; we do not perform original on-chain analysis ourselves.
6. Collect first-hand testimony. Named employee reviews, named interviews in published reporting, court testimony.
7. Cross-reference and assess. Where multiple independent sources converge on the same factual claim, the claim is reported as established. Where sources diverge, both are presented with attribution.
8. Note what is missing. Where claims have been made — by the venture itself or by critics — that we cannot independently verify, we mark them as unverified.

The full source bibliography is at /sources. We list 76 sources at launch and add to the list as new material is published.

About the operator

This site is operated independently. The operator's identity is withheld for safety reasons given the documented pattern of legal threats, DMCA suppression notices, and copyright complaints directed at critics of the named individuals — most notably the multiple YouTube takedowns of videos covering BlockDAG and the alleged fraudulent DMCA notices filed against critical journalism about Lanistar.

This precaution does not affect the editorial standards above. Every claim is sourced, attributed, and verifiable independently. The site stands or falls on the evidence, not on the identity of its operator.
