MERIDIAN / REGISTRY REVIEW / 25 OCTOBER 2026
The same standard for old entries and new candidates.
Reviewed through 25 October 2026, with emphasis on2025–2026 and selected major historical gaps. This is a bounded editorial search, not an exhaustive census of world events. Multiple source searches can concern the same candidate; totals count distinct candidate decisions, not search-result hits.

These are separate affected-party accounts, not promotional novelty claims or syndicated copies.Criteria A4 | Source 1 · Source 2 |
| exclude Government deepfake conference fraudai · M-016 · prior registry entry | At least SGD4.9m is a gross transfer with unknown recoveries, not confirmed realised loss meeting A3; existing 3/5 remains below the editorial gate. | Source 1 |
| keep Moltbook agent credentials exposedai · M-015 · prior registry entry | Wiz explicitly describes 1.5m registered agents and exposed authentication credentials for every registered agent.
