Right of Reply

Right of Reply

If you are named on this site and wish to respond, this is how.

The principle

This site is a public-interest publication. We document allegations and patterns drawn from sourced material — regulator filings, court records, investigative journalism, on-chain analysis, and former-employee testimony. We attribute carefully and stand by what we publish.

We also recognise that anyone named on this site, particularly Gurhan Kiziloz and representatives of the ventures discussed (BlockDAG, Lanistar, WPRO, Nexus International, Megaposta, Spartans.com, and the cryptocurrency projects referenced), has a legitimate interest in responding to claims made about them.

This page is the formal channel for doing so.

This commitment is genuine. Substantive responses will be published in good faith, with comparable prominence to the original claim being rebutted, regardless of whether we agree with the response.

Who can use this page

  • Any individual named on this site, including Gurhan Kiziloz.
  • An authorised representative (lawyer, PR firm, communications team) acting on behalf of a named individual or entity, with written authority to do so.
  • Any entity named on this site (BlockDAG, Lanistar Limited, DAG Systems Ltd., Nexus International, Megaposta, Spartans.com, WPRO, and any other named company).
  • Former employees or contractors of these entities who wish to provide additional context or correct claims attributed to former-employee testimony.

We do not require Right of Reply submissions to be made through legal counsel. A direct response from a named individual is equally welcome.

What we will publish

Corrections of factual error

If we have stated a fact incorrectly — wrong date, wrong figure, wrong attribution, misidentification — and you can demonstrate this, we will correct the page and log the correction in the public corrections register on the About page.

Disputes of allegation

If you wish to dispute an allegation attributed to a third party on this site, we will publish your response alongside the allegation. We will not remove the allegation itself if it is properly sourced and within the bounds of fair-dealing public-interest reporting — but your response will be published with comparable prominence.

Additional context

If you wish to provide context that the existing reporting did not include — for example, mitigating circumstances, additional facts, or a clarification of intent — we will publish this in good faith.

Personal statements

If you are a named individual and wish to make a personal statement in response to the coverage, we will publish it. We will not edit your statement except for: removal of personally identifying information about third parties; removal of content that is unambiguously defamatory of third parties; and minimal formatting for readability.

What we will not do

  • We will not remove sourced reporting on the basis of a Right of Reply alone. If a regulator has issued a warning, a court has issued a judgment, or a credentialled outlet has published an investigation, those facts will remain on the site. Your response will be published alongside.
  • We will not edit your response to soften its substance. Format and structure may be lightly edited; substance is yours.
  • We will not require you to waive any legal rights as a condition of publication.
  • We will not charge a fee for publishing a Right of Reply.
  • We will not delay publication beyond what is reasonable. Our target is publication within 14 days of receiving a complete, substantive submission. We will acknowledge receipt within 72 hours.

How to submit

Email submission (preferred)

Send your submission to: rightofreply at kiziloz-exposed.com

Please include the following:

  1. Identification. Your name (and, if submitting on behalf of someone else, the name of the individual or entity you represent and written authority to do so).
  2. What you are responding to. The URL of the specific page on this site you are responding to, and the specific text or claim you wish to address.
  3. Your response. Your statement, correction, or rebuttal. We recommend keeping each response under 500 words, though longer responses are accepted.
  4. Supporting material (optional). Documents, evidence, or external sources we should be aware of.
  5. Permission to publish. A clear statement that you authorise the publication of your response on this site.
  6. Contact information. An email address we can use to follow up. We will not publish your contact information.

Postal submission

If you prefer to submit by post, request a postal address by emailing rightofreply at kiziloz-exposed.com.

Legal representative submissions

If you are submitting through a legal representative, we ask that the submission be made on letterhead and signed by the representative.

What happens after you submit

Within 72 hours: we acknowledge receipt of your submission. If incomplete, we will reply with specific questions.

Within 14 days: we publish your response, or we explain in writing why we cannot. We will only decline to publish a submission for one of the following reasons:

  • The submission is from a person who is not named on the site and is not responding on behalf of someone who is.
  • The submission contains personally identifying information about third parties, threats, or content that would itself be illegal to publish.
  • The submission is not substantive (e.g. one-word demands to "remove everything" without any specific basis).
  • The submission is one of a pattern of repeat submissions covering material already addressed.

Published responses

A note on tone

We recognise that anyone named on this site may feel the coverage is unfair. We have tried to be careful and fair. We may not always have succeeded.

A Right of Reply submission has the best chance of effecting change when it identifies specific claims rather than asking for blanket removal, provides specific evidence rather than general denial, and addresses the substance of the claim rather than the motivations of those reporting it.

We will engage substantively with substantive submissions. We will not engage with abuse.

Bad-faith submissions

We commit to publishing Right of Reply submissions in good faith. We expect them to be made in good faith.

Submissions concluded to have been made in bad faith — for example, submissions that misrepresent the facts, demand the removal of properly-sourced material without engaging with its substance, or are part of a pattern of vexatious correspondence — may themselves be documented as part of the public record on the corrections register.
