- What I think should be changed (include citations):
Added complete history of Ben Pasternaks last startup Believe including sources. The following gives a small snippet of the edit I made:
″In January 2025, Pasternak presented his new Web3 startup Clout.[1] Clout had it's focus on SocialFi, a Web3 alternative for social media. The company automated a cryptocoin launch for every influencer reaching a certain follower threshold on the Clout App. Pasternak himself launched a coin with the ticker $Pasternak. One the reasons for the success of the startup was the big support from influental investors, such as Imran Khan and his venture capital fund AllianceDAO, who both publicly supported the project.[1] Pasternak's coin reached a 80 million US dollar valuation after only 1 day.[2] With no new creators coming in the valuation fell sharply leading to a valuation of only 180 Thousand in March, 2 months after the launch.″
None of this is defamatory or a troll. All these things can be proven. Same goes for the following snippet about a class action lawsuit against Ben Pasternak:
″On March 23 2026 Burwick Law filed their previously announced class action lawsuit against both Pasternak and Believe on behalf of the investors misled by Pasternak. The lawsuit is still running and has not seen a major decision yet. The case was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.[3][4]″
Again none of these edits are defamatory. I accept criticism for not being neutral in some sentences, but all of the edits made were correct and well proven, in my opinion, with sources. The following snippet has also nothing to do with his newest startup but I added the relationship because it was easy to find an online source for it:
″He is in a relationship with the influencer Evelyn Ha since August 2024. The relationship was private from August to September 2024 and was after that revealed to the public. New clips and instagram unfollows have fueled fan speculation that they might have broken up. Neither of them have made a statement about the possible breakup.[5]″
Another time none of these edits are defamatory in nature

- Why it should be changed:
Ben Pasternak is being portrait as a good guy in his wikipedia article. If you read the article it seems like he is a trusted person and founder. This is not the case. Not only did he abandon a startup like crypto project and made his investors lose tons of money while he made 40 million dollars, but he also has a lawsuit against him and his startup. This is necessary information that should definetly be shown in the wikipedia article. To the defence of the annonymous person who deleted the edits made: I know that most sources in the crypto industry can not be trusted fully. I already tried including the best sources from sometimes multi billion companies. I acknowledge that some sources may not look 100% perfect, but these are the best I could find since Wikipedia rejects all social media sources like Twitter and Youtube where unfortuanately the case is documented the best. Also an important point is that there are some really credible sources for example by the law company itself suing Ben Pasternak and the concept of his company aswell as revenue. Also his relationship status is acknowledged by a credible source.
