Included for relevance; source claims are not independently verified. This record is based on saved titles and descriptions unless a separate deeper-reading assessment is explicitly shown. Observation dates are not incident dates. An arrest or charge is not a conviction.

reason
Retain the attributed lower-bound aggregate statistic, not a measured independent incidence total. Original authored interpretation: Reported aggregate lower-bound loss statistic, not a new individual event or independently verified total. Original stage: reported. Original scope: aggregate. Whole row limits: l'an passé supplies no absolute year. Dollars have no established currency ISO. Ambiguous title is not blame or a clinical inference.
These labels describe the available reporting. “Not reported” does not mean a harm did not happen. A theme's stage applies to that statement, not every claim in the article.
Reported national aggregate above50m dollars, not individual loss or verified prevalence.

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
