Handle reuse across failed/rugged projects
Falcon Finance's assessment for RD-F-118 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No social handle for Falcon Finance or Grachev associated with a prior rugged/failed project under a different alias. @falconfinance X account is consistent in identity since launch. Grachev's prior failed crypto ventures (Crypsis, Export.Online ICO, Shoptimizer) used distinct branding, not aliases recycled into Falcon Finance.
Detail #
The handle reuse signal requires a social handle previously associated with a rugged project to reappear on a new project. Grachev's failed ventures predate DWF Labs and Falcon Finance and are documented under their own identities. No evidence that the @falconfinance handle or Grachev's handles were previously used for a rugged project before being repurposed for Falcon Finance.
