Methodology & Standards
This archive is written for journalists, researchers, legal readers, and the public. It does not ask readers to “believe” — it enables readers to verify.
How to use this archive
- Timeline presents a chronological record with links back to sources.
- Profiles summarize named individuals and clearly state whether they are convicted, fugitive (as reported), or reported/accused.
- Sources & Evidence lists the public materials this site relies on (press, archives, published court outcomes).
When a statement is important, the expected standard is: “Could a careful reader trace this back to a source?”
Claim labels
Pages use consistent labels so readers can distinguish what is proven in court, what is reported in proceedings, and what is alleged.
Supported by reliable reporting and (where available) a primary court document or published court outcome.
Attributed statements described in reputable reporting or court summaries. These are presented as reported, not independently reconstructed.
Claims attributed to sources but not established as fact by a court outcome in this case. Attribution is required.
Videos/social links are provided for transparency. They are not treated as fact on their own unless corroborated by reliable reporting.
Sourcing standards
- Prefer primary documents (verdicts, filings, official records) when publicly available.
- Otherwise rely on reputable outlets and archived reporting with stable URLs.
- When sources disagree, the archive should reflect the disagreement and state the uncertainty.
- Strong claims must include strong sourcing. If a detail cannot be sourced, it should be removed or clearly labeled as unverified.
What this archive will not do
- State allegations as facts without clear attribution.
- Publish private addresses, phone numbers, or doxxing material.
- Claim “secure encrypted submissions” without a real, documented process.
- Encourage harassment, vigilantism, or unlawful action.
Corrections & updates
This archive is designed to improve over time as stronger sources become available.
- Provide a source that supports the correction (preferably primary documents).
- We update the relevant page and, where needed, the Timeline entry.
- Substantive corrections should add a note describing what changed and why.
For submissions, use Contact. The organization’s Proton Mail intake address is intentionally not published publicly. For encrypted submissions, see PGP.
Editorial principle
This site is memorial-aware and evidence-led: the human cost is honored, but claims remain precise, attributed, and traceable.
