When the SEC examiner asks what you were doing about social media manipulation risk: do you have an answer?
FINRA's 2025 Regulatory Oversight Report flagged social media disinformation as a top compliance risk for investment advisers, for the second year running. Most funds have no documented monitoring program. Verity Fund is the audit trail and the early warning system. For $499 a month.
Bloomberg Surveillance starts at $24,000 a year and doesn't monitor Reddit, X, or YouTube. That's where coordinated campaigns against your positions actually run. Graphika charges $100,000+ and was built for Senate intelligence committees. Neither sends your compliance team a timestamped alert.
The SEC has already charged funds for social media manipulation they didn't catch.
In December 2022, the SEC charged 8 influencers running a $100 million manipulation scheme through Twitter and a 150,000-member Discord server called Atlas Trading. The scheme ran for months. The pattern (coordinated buys, identical messaging, synchronized dumps) was detectable on social media before the price moved.
SEC risk alerts require registered investment advisers to “consider whether they have dedicated sufficient compliance resources to adequately monitor” social media. That's not a suggestion. It's documentation language. An examiner asking about your monitoring program expects a written answer with evidence.
Verity Fund's weekly digest, timestamped alert logs, and CSV exports are that evidence. A documented monitoring program for $499/month. Not $100,000.
The manipulation is already happening. Your desk finds out after the move.
In August 2024, Hindenburg Research published a coordinated short report on Super Micro Computer. The social media amplification pattern appeared across X and Reddit simultaneously. SMCI dropped 21%, from $562 to $443, in a single day. Traders who detected the coordinated amplification pattern 20–40 minutes earlier had time to act.
Coordinated pump-and-dump campaigns target tickers with thin float, where $50,000 in coordinated retail buying moves the price 4–8%. Your Bloomberg terminal doesn't have Reddit, X, or YouTube trading communities in the feed. Your compliance team isn't reading them before the opening bell.
That's what Verity watches. All of it. Automatically. Every 15 minutes.

SEC enforcement actions increasingly center on whether funds acted on signals they should have seen. Verity gives your compliance team a timestamped record of every anomaly detected, when your desk was notified, and what sources confirmed it. That record exists before any trade executes. That's the documentation examiners are looking for.

Your AI analyst can run Verity before every execution.
Fund-tier subscribers get API access. Works with any LLM or automation stack: Claude, Gemini, GPT-4, LangChain, or plain Python. Verity becomes the manipulation check that runs before the trade fires. The AI calls it. The trade doesn't execute until Verity clears the signal.
POST /api/skills/cross-check-alert { "ticker": "$SMCI", "signal": "unusual volume spike", "min_sources": 2 } → { "verdict": "CONFIRMED", "sources_checked": 4, "confidence": 0.91, "summary": "Coordinated FUD across Reddit and X..." }

When the SEC audit starts, here's exactly what you show them.

Documented monitoring program. Verity runs continuously, automatically, with no gaps in coverage
Timestamped alert logs. Every anomaly recorded with full source URLs and confidence scores
Evidence of team notification. Email delivery logs show exactly when analysts were alerted
Pre-trade cross-checks. API logs confirm the trade didn't fire until Verity cleared the signal
Weekly CCO digest. Ready for board and examiner review, delivered every Monday
CSV audit trail. Full alert history exportable for regulatory filings and due-diligence records
