Lea Morel

Senior crypto trading bot auditor

Lea Morel runs the DecrypteBot public audit grid and signs all FR reviews. After 8 years in crypto risk analysis, including 4 years as compliance officer at a French AMF-registered PSAN, she co-founded DecrypteBot in early 2026 with one clear obsession : take crypto trading bots out of the marketing fog by imposing a public, scored, traceable audit grid. Her specialty is the rare intersection of regulatory compliance (AMF, MiCA, FCA, SEC) and multi-exchange bot architecture (REST APIs, signed webhooks, partial-key management). She owns the choice of the 8 public criteria, their weighting, and the semi-annual re-audit protocol applied to each bot. Before DecrypteBot, she spent 18 months on the MiCA compliance dossier of a French PSAN (CASP application in progress), which gives her first-hand access to ESMA requirements and the 2026-2027 registration calendar most platforms will have to navigate. She made the controversial call to score Pionex 63/100 despite its unbeatable free tier, by weighting the AMF blacklist (-35 points on compliance) into the global score. Her editorial guideline is three strict rules : no claim without a dated and publicly accessible source, no score without a written justification of at least 60 words, no recommendation without a persona-specific verdict (beginner, intermediate, pro, AMF-conscious). She views independent crypto bot auditing as a public service, not a marketing tool : that's what justifies full transparency on affiliate commissions and strict separation between scoring and monetization.
