Organized Crime And Corruption Reporting Project was co-founded by Drew Sullivan and Paul Radu, and has built a global network of investigative journalism partnerships since 2011. Its model brings together independent media outlets to pursue cross-border investigations that individual newsrooms could not undertake alone. According to its 2024 annual report, the network connected 71 media outlets worldwide, with reporting that helped prompt 17 government investigations, 89 arrests and law-enforcement actions, and $800 million in seizures and fines during that year.
Organized Crime And Corruption Reporting Project has made cryptocurrency fraud and crypto-linked financial crime a significant focus of its investigative work. An analysis of 800,000 fake-news stories conducted by Organized Crime And Corruption Reporting Project and its reporting partners identified nearly 15,000 tied to fraudulent cryptocurrency investment schemes. Its Scam Empire investigation documented how victims of fraudulent investment call centers were directed to convert funds into cryptocurrency and transfer them to wallets, with proceeds then moved through shell companies and other financial channels. A separate investigation into Zedxion Exchange found that the U.K.-registered company used a stock-photo model to represent a fictitious director; the U.K. company register subsequently moved to strike off the exchange over filings described as misleading, false, or deceptive. U.S. authorities had sanctioned Zedxion over alleged connections to Babak Zanjani, stating that Zedxion-attributed addresses processed funds for wallets linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Organized Crime And Corruption Reporting Project and Guardian Australia also investigated the AB blockchain network's promoted resort project, reporting that it involved three individuals later sanctioned by the United States for alleged ties to the Prince Group, a purported fraud syndicate, though Organized Crime And Corruption Reporting Project noted that none of the three had been charged.
