reason
Original custom development: admission_of_secondary_fraud. Exact subject: 76-year-old man. Exact retained stage: reported_admission. An admission with no stated procedural forum has no exact enum. Plea would falsely make it a formal court plea; plural friends do not establish a case count. Own-source rationale: The admission is reported, but its forum is not specified. Retained limits: Not a formal guilty plea, conviction or sentence; secondary losses and original romance loss remain distinct.

Original custom development: admission_of_secondary_fraud. Exact subject: 76-year-old man. Exact retained stage: reported_admission. Reported admission to secondary fraud has no exact event and is not a formal plea. Several social targets do not establish a unique-case count. Own-source rationale: This own URL reports admission of secondary fraud. Retained limits: No formal plea, conviction, sentence, causal necessity or damaged-friendship fact inferred.
