Methodology

Primary-source material

The documents, flight logs, testimony summaries, timelines, and profiles on this site are based on publicly released court filings, trial exhibits, deposition transcripts, law-enforcement records, property filings, and reporting grounded in those materials.

Reconstructed messages and correspondence

The content in the Messages and Mail sections is not presented as a verbatim private archive. Those sections are editorial reconstructions built from publicly documented communications, deposition testimony, trial exhibits, scheduling records, and contemporaneous reporting.

Where a message or email is reconstructed, the page and the source notes identify the public record that supports the substance of the exchange. In practice, that means names, timing, logistics, or subject matter may reflect the documented record even when the exact phrasing was not publicly released line-for-line.

What we do not claim

• We do not claim every reconstructed exchange is a verbatim transcript.
• We do not treat inclusion in a contact list, flight log, or profile as proof of criminal conduct.
• We do not present unresolved allegations as convictions.

Editorial standards

• Each page should point back to the public record, not away from it.
• Labels such as reconstructed, unsealed, public record, or court exhibit should match the underlying source type.
• When dates, quantities, or legal outcomes are uncertain, the page should reflect that uncertainty directly.

How to use the archive

For the strongest sourcing, start with the Documents hub and the standalone document pages. Use the People hub for entity-level orientation, the Timeline for chronology, the Flight Logs for travel patterns, and the Messages and Mail sections as guided reconstructions that sit alongside the primary records rather than replacing them.
