About CryptoKiller

What we do

CryptoKiller exists to give every person researching a crypto platform a fast, evidence-based answer to the question "is this a scam?". We monitor paid-ad networks in 84+ countries, capture the ad creatives and landing pages scam operators use, and turn that raw evidence into structured investigations tied to specific brand names.

Each investigation we publish includes a numeric threat score backed by six categories of evidence, side-by-side screenshots of the advertisements we captured, a breakdown of the funnel used to extract deposits, and citations to regulatory warnings issued by recognised authorities such as the FCA (United Kingdom), SEC (United States), ASIC (Australia), CONSOB (Italy), AMF (France), BaFin (Germany), and the national fraud agencies of every jurisdiction we cover.

We do not sell listings, accept removal fees, or publish sponsored reviews. Our revenue model — partnerships with regulated exchanges and educational content — is described in our editorial policy below. Every published investigation is reproducible from the evidence we cite.

Who runs CryptoKiller

CryptoKiller is operated by DEX Algo Technologies Pte Ltd., a company registered in Singapore. The company holds the operational and legal responsibility for the platform and is the publisher of record for all investigations.

Investigations are written by a research team with documented experience in cybercrime analysis, blockchain forensics, financial-crime research, digital forensics, and independent crypto journalism. Each investigation carries the named byline of the analyst responsible, with credentials, specialisations, and public profiles linked from the review page.

The platform is editorially independent. No advertiser, exchange, or affiliate partner has veto power over which brands we investigate or what conclusions we publish. Our editors are the only parties who decide what gets published, when, and how.

Our investigation approach

Every threat score is built from evidence that is either publicly observable (paid ads, landing pages, domain registration records, regulator bulletins) or directly submitted by victims under our reporting process. We do not include unverifiable rumours, unattributed forum posts, or competitor-sourced claims in any published investigation.

When we cite a regulator, we link to the specific bulletin — not a general warning page. When we quote an ad creative, we show the screenshot. When we cite a statistic about geographic reach or campaign duration, the number comes from our CryptoKiller ad-surveillance platform, which scans paid advertising in 84+ countries continuously.

We publish under a model we call "evidence-first, pay-to-remove-never". If a brand disputes our findings, the only path to a correction is new evidence — which we will evaluate and publish a correction or full retraction for, if warranted. No brand has ever paid to have a review altered or removed, and no brand ever will.

How we're funded

CryptoKiller is funded by referral partnerships with regulated cryptocurrency exchanges (such as exchanges licensed under the EU's MiCA framework, U.S. money-service-business registrations, or equivalent jurisdictional licensing) and by sponsored educational content clearly labelled as such. We receive no funding from the subjects of our investigations or from any party with an interest in our editorial conclusions.

Partner exchanges are chosen for their licensing status and track record, not their willingness to pay. Educational sponsorships are disclosed on every page where they appear and never affect our threat-scoring methodology.

We do not run display advertising, advertising cookies, or behavioural ad tracking. We use Google Analytics solely to measure aggregate readership. The site exists to serve the reader's question, not to monetise their attention.

Editorial corrections

If you believe we have published something inaccurate, please email [email protected] with the URL of the affected page and a clear explanation of the error. We review every correction request — whether it comes from a subject of an investigation, a reader, a victim, or a regulator. We do not charge for corrections and we do not condition corrections on non-publication of other content.

When we make a correction, we publish a dated correction notice on the affected page rather than silently editing. When we retract a full investigation, we leave the original URL in place with a visible retraction notice so the record remains auditable.
