Method: How These Filings Are Sourced

Every filing on this site follows a clear standard. Readers can review where the info comes from, how evidence is graded, what remains unverified, and how mistakes are fixed. This is my reputation; information will not be posted without being vetted properly. And shit happens, so if something changes and I haven’t caught it yet, let me know. I’ll verify and update, if needed.

Each post links to its sources and states how far I could go with it. You can evaluate the evidence yourself; it’s all there.

Want to do this yourself? Open-Source Research walks through the steps.

The standard: linkable sources only

Every claim requires a public, linkable source. Acceptable sources include news articles, court or bankruptcy filings, archived web captures, and official public statements. If a claim cannot be verified through a linkable source, it is omitted or explicitly labeled as unverified. Read that last sentence again.

This is the zero tolerance part: no reputable source, no claim.

The “Sources” section at the end of each filing provides the underlying documentation for the main text.

Source grading

Claims are categorized based on the strength of their supporting evidence:

[P] Primary: Original documents, official filings, or direct statements such as bankruptcy dockets or corporate press releases.
[C] Circumstantial: Consistent with the evidence but not shown by it directly. This includes facts supported by independent secondary reporting, or matching facts from multiple unrelated sources, when I haven’t opened the original record.
[X] Unverified: I can’t verify this.

Naming individuals

I’m petty, but not that petty.

Individuals are named only when their identity is essential to the story. Otherwise, professional titles or roles are used instead. Private individuals are not named, and names from public forums are redacted.

Background information like employment history or credentials is reported only when relevant to specific documented actions. Where serious statements are made about individuals, their responses or the lack of an inquiry are stated very clearly.

Stated limitations

Each post distinguishes established facts from open questions. Qualifying language like “alleged” or “unverified” is used whenever proof is incomplete to ensure arguments stay within the evidence. I get it…seems like overkill. But I learned this in the legal world; every word matters.

Corrections

Errors are corrected transparently. When a mistake occurs, a dated correction note is added to the post explaining what changed.

If you have new deets or I haven’t caught up yet, let me know. I’ll verify new information and get that posted.

Privacy and independence

I hate the new internet.
