Our read of the evidence
Partly documented. The settlement obtained by AG Jennings with Aptive Environmental is confirmed by a government record (news.delaware.gov). The claims that the sales pitch went viral and that debate continued are based solely on reports from dailydot.com, with no indication that both parties spoke on the record. As of the given dates, the legitimacy of the pitch remains unverified pending further evidence.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
