Research notes

  • Subtitle on the page: 'Wall Street Market Moderator Located in Brazil Is Charged in Eastern District of California'.
  • The site breadcrumb renders the headline with different capitalisation ('...Marketplace With Over 1 Million Users...'); the article headline as displayed is recorded here.
  • Distinct from the existing record src_doj_wsm_2019, which carries the Central District of California version of the announcement.
  • Read via an Internet Archive capture because justice.gov serves an Akamai bot interstitial to automated clients.
