We Built a Conspiracy Mapping Tool Inspired by the Artist Who Had the FBI Knocking
At Whale Hunting, we don't just investigate the world's hidden networks—we build tools to help others do the same. One of our missions is simple: democratize investigation. The most powerful conspiracies thrive in darkness, protected by complexity and the assumption that ordinary people can't connect the dots. We reject that assumption.
Today, we're launching Silent Partners, a new web app that transforms anyone into a visual investigator. Inspired by the legendary conspiracy artist Mark Lombardi (subject of our beloved podcast from Farah Halime, The Illuminator), this tool lets you map the hidden relationships that shape our world—from shadowy financiers to covert political networks. Think of it as your personal conspiracy canvas, where public information becomes powerful revelation.
We've pre-loaded three explosive case studies to get you started: the 1MDB scandal, the BCCI banking conspiracy, and Jeffrey Epstein's web of influence. But the real power lies in what you'll create next. Because investigation isn't reserved for journalists or federal agents—it's available to anyone curious enough to follow the money and patient enough to connect the dots.
