The cases.
How we run this beat.
- OGE-450 disclosure ingestion. Every public financial disclosure filed under OGE Form 450 or 278 is pulled within 24 hours of publication and indexed against the filer's enforcement portfolio and regulatory authority.
- Exchange timestamp overlay. Each reported holding is cross-referenced against Coinbase, Kraken, and other exchange public data — where available — to establish the date range the position was held relative to enforcement decisions.
- DOJ memo correlation. Enforcement memos, declination decisions, and regulatory guidance are matched to the filer's disclosed holdings during the relevant enforcement window.
- Right of reply. Every named official is offered a 72-hour window to respond on the record. Their reply prints in full at /right-of-reply.
- Publication. Receipt prints with the OGE disclosure, the enforcement memo or decision, and the relevant exchange timestamps — side by side.
