Adversarial OSINT Reframing: Assessment significantly elevated (from 30 to 48) based on technical contradictions and investigation reversals. Strong delivery and absence of proven criminal conduct reduce risk, while pseudonymity, documented financial harm from hacks, retraction of safety claims (Jupiter Lend), and aborted hiring of FTX-linked investigators (Fenwick & West) indicate high-signal narrative and governance risk.
