Our read of the evidence
Partly documented. All timeline entries are based solely on secondary reports, with no primary source confirming any of the events. The information draws on coverage from several different outlets, but there is no direct verification from the organizers or participants. Because the record rests entirely on second‑hand accounts, the documentation is only partial.
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.
