Stop Kompromat — Don't Pay, Document, Report, Resist

You found a damaging article about you on a kompromat site. Someone wants cryptocurrency to remove it. This page tells you what to do next — in order, without panic, and without paying.

Don't pay

Payment does not reliably remove content. Investigative reporting and victim accounts document republication on mirror domains after payment. Paying funds the network, signals that you are a viable target, and may offer no enforceable contract. Operators have no incentive to honor a "purge contract" across 60+ linked domains.

According to IPS News ("The Lie Industry," June 2025), documented removal prices run $3,000–$12,000 in USDT or BTC — with optional "reputation insurance" upsells above $6,000. That money sustains publishing infrastructure, Telegram amplification, and new victim targeting.

Document everything now

Before you take any other step, preserve evidence. Screenshot every URL, every email, every Telegram message, and every cryptocurrency wallet address quoted. Record dates, times, and sender details. Use archive services such as the Internet Archive or archive.today to capture page content before it changes or disappears.

Save WHOIS records for the domain and note hosting provider information. Export Google search results showing how the article ranks for your name. This evidence supports platform takedowns, police reports, and any future legal action. Do not delete threatening messages — they are evidence.

Report through official channels

You have multiple reporting paths, and you should use several in parallel:

Platform reports are free. They take time but do not fund criminals. Use our ready-made email templates to speed up hosting and registrar complaints.

Resist pressure tactics

Operators may threaten wider republication via Telegram channels, claim legal deadlines, or impersonate journalists. These are documented pressure tactics in the pay-to-delete playbook. Do not negotiate beyond what is needed to preserve evidence. Do not send cryptocurrency to any wallet address they provide.

If you feel unsafe, contact local law enforcement immediately. If the content involves intimate images or sexual coercion, treat it as a separate and urgent criminal matter in your jurisdiction.

What this network looks like

Pay-to-delete kompromat is not random defamation — it is a documented business model. Domains such as kompromat1.online, kartoteka.news, vlasti.io, and antimafia.se share infrastructure and monetization patterns per IPS News and Dutable. Victims typically discover articles through Google, then receive contact offering paid removal.
