The Vault Archivist

Tracking poverty fraud since 1970

About

I built The Vault Investigates because no one had ever built a real database for poverty fraud — not a list of articles, not a news archive, but a structured, searchable, citable research registry. The Vault documents fraud cases from 1970 to present: nonprofit executives, charity founders, and aid administrators convicted or credibly accused of exploiting programs meant to help the poor. It includes a daily DOJ Monitor, an Open Library of 18+ verified free resources, and TruthDrop — an anonymous tip portal for sources. I'm interested in investigative tools, open data, civic tech, and accountability journalism. Always happy to connect with researchers, reporters, and anyone building tools that make institutions more transparent.

The Vault Investigates - A searchable registry of documented poverty fraud actors

Poverty fraud has happened for 50+ years. Nobody built a database to track it. Until now. The Vault Investigates is a searchable registry of documented poverty fraud actors — nonprofit executives, charity founders, and aid administrators who exploit systems meant to help the poor. Includes: Fraud Registry (1970–present), Open Library, daily DOJ Monitor, and TruthDrop anonymous tip portal. Apply for research access at truthdrop.io
