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.

Possible case connection

Man pleads guilty after dozens of victims lose more than $2M in connection with ‘romance fraud conspiracy’

Propose possible_same_case only between the bound current anonymous prosecutor-allegation report and protected anonymous one-count laundering-plea report: the unusual dozens/>$2M/conspiracy reporting profile warrants a retained possible association, but neither own field identifies the defendant and the current quote supplies no plea. Preserve richard_agyemang as the exact historical protected/custom family ID for P, without adding N to it or borrowing the register name, later sentence, source chronology or guilt. This is not a reported_followup relation or a verified identity.
