You're In Business

FinTelegram is an established niche financial intelligence platform (active since 2018) with verifiable external mentions and compliance reports. However, the submission contains demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product and 'everyone' is the audience), which severely damaged the score. While the project has real-world utility in the cyber-finance sector, the lack of accurate metrics and the exaggerated claims trigger significant penalties for credibility and reach.
