The mission
Conscience-driven civic accountability
The Fan Account - Citizens Audit | Operation 3143 didn’t just document a case — it executed one of the most effective citizen investigations in recent memory. Primary sources. Verifiable case numbers. Public execution. Fully attributed to @TheFanAccountX.
Industrial court data
Three custom scrapers. 10,000+ criminal cases. Every murder and attempted-murder bail under DA Nash — 16 cases, zero above $250K — set against Dalton’s $1.25M.
Narrative defense
A 30M+ impression “shot first” smear tracked from origin through X, Facebook, TikTok, and international outlets — then forced into the public correction record.
