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

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built The Vault Investigates because there was no central, structured database of people convicted or credibly accused of defrauding poverty programs. Not a list of articles — a real, searchable, citable research database. So I built one. The Registry documents cases from 1970 to present. The DOJ Monitor runs every morning. The Open Library has 18+ verified free resources. And TruthDrop lets sources submit anonymous tips directly into the research pipeline. Three questions for you: — What fraud categories am I missing? — Who else should know about this? Tag them below. — What would make this more useful for your work? Happy to answer anything. This is day one — let's make it count.
