Qualified mixed statistical claim, not independently verified global romance incidence. Crypto-platform use does not alone establish a particular transfer route. Blocking/extra fees are not threats or sexual blackmail.

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.

Research provenance

1 saved revision. Corrections preserve earlier versions.

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.
