✦ squircle · surveillance triage Thu, Jun 18 · 09:31

Morning, Owen. I triaged 14 overnight alerts — (the usual MM rebalances, news spikes, whitelisted bots). One on $ZEPH clears the bar and needs your call — a referral is an accusation only a human can make. $ZEPH is referred to Compliance — Dilek owns it. You're clear. $ZEPH cleared as benign and logged. You're clear.

310 alerts/wk · 41% FP

$ZEPH looks like wash trading — escalate it to Compliance?

$ZEPH (Zephyr Protocol, listed 9 days ago) tripped the wash-trade model. On its own that means little — the model fires ~310×/week and is wrong 41% of the time. What makes $ZEPH different: three independent signals corroborate on the same 6 wallets at once. squircle assembled the case but won't file a market-abuse referral itself — that accusation is yours to make.

Why this one clears the bar 3 of 3 signals hold · tap any to verify
✦ squircle — signal 1 alone fires ~310×/week and is wrong 41% of the time. But signals 1, 2 and 3 landing on the same 6 wallets is the pattern that's almost never innocent — across this quarter's referrals, every confirmed case had this triad and no false positive did. That's why this one, not the other 13, clears the bar.
squircle drafts the referral · you file it
Pinged Rana for a second review — nothing filed yet. squircle will resurface this the moment she replies in #surveillance.
✦ DRAFTED · YOUR FILE Dilek Aydın tagged · #compliance

File the $ZEPH market-abuse referral

squircle bundled the evidence (flow graph · address attribution · discovery-rank), drafted the referral memo, and tagged Dilek Aydın (Compliance). It also computed a recommended precautionary measure — you'll place that next. squircle won't file a regulated referral on its own — review and file.

“Market-abuse referral — $ZEPH (Zephyr Protocol). Suspected wash trading: 73% of 24h volume ($3.0M) cycles between 6 wallets funded from a single address (0x7f…a2e1) on the listing date; net inventory ≈ 0. The pattern sustains $ZEPH's #2 ‘Trending’ placement (~2,400 retail buyers exposed in 6 days). Evidence bundle attached. Filed by O. Walsh, Market Integrity.”

Referred — now stop the ongoing exposure

Compliance owns the investigation. Real users keep buying $ZEPH off its faked #2 Trending rank while it sits there. squircle recommends the reversible, scoped measure — not a blunt one:

✓Freeze withdrawals on the 6 flagged wallets + pull $ZEPH from Trending — stops the harm now.
✕Don't halt $ZEPH spot trading for everyone — that would punish ~2,400 innocent holders for a 6-wallet scheme.

$ZEPH referred — you're clear
Cleared as benign — logged
No referral filed · reason recorded to the surveillance audit
For the record: squircle filed nothing and accused no one. You logged $ZEPH as benign with a reason — that decision is itself recorded to the surveillance audit, since clearing a flagged signal is reviewable too.
✦ GET AHEAD proactive · surveillance model v2

One move to stay ahead: this is the 3rd low-cap this quarter with the same single-funder circular-flow triad. File the surveillance-model-v2 detector so this pattern auto-corroborates — it moves this class of alert from manual triage to a pre-built case, eating into your 41% false-positive load. It still surfaces a Move for you to file; it never escalates on its own.

✦ GET AHEAD proactive · cut the noise

You cleared this one. If $ZEPH's pattern is a known-benign shape, I can add it to the whitelist so it stops paging you — one fewer of the 41%.

✓
That's everything — squircle will keep clearing the noise and ping you only when a signal clears the bar.
Nominal — squircle is monitoring, no action
Surveillance findings & any referral are logged to the immutable case record, visible to Compliance & Legal — by regulation. squircle flags patterns; only a human files a referral.
