## 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.
