Quick tldr summary from the end:

the source code reveals a platform that:

- files Suspicious Activity Reports directly with FinCEN

- files Suspicious Transaction Reports with FINTRAC

- tags STRs with intelligence program codenames (Project SHADOW, Project LEGION…)

- maintains biometric face databases with 3-year retention

- runs 269 distinct verification checks against every user

- compares your selfie to political figures with facial similarity scoring

- flags you as a “suspicious entity” based on your face alone

- classifies selfie spoof risk with hardcoded rejection thresholds

- screens against 14 categories of adverse media from terrorism to espionage

- lets operators upload custom FinCEN screening lists and run them against everyone

- continuously re-screens on configurable intervals

- tracks you across 13 types of lists from browser fingerprints to geolocations

- screens crypto wallets against sanctioned addresses via Chainalysis

- runs experimental unnamed ML models on your biometric data

- encrypts data with shared symmetric keys while admitting they “depend on obfuscation”

- runs two parallel PEP screening systems with known incompatibilities

and the company that runs all of this is the same one that takes your passport photo when you sign up for ChatGPT. same codebase. same platform. different deployment. same facial recognition. same screening algorithms. same data model.
