Research notes

  • Archived capture of 2023-07-08 read on 2026-08-23; header reads 'Wednesday, September 25, 2019'.
  • Title verified verbatim - it is 'Plead Guilty in Global Digital Advertising Fraud', not 'to Global Digital Advertising Fraud' as the proposing note paraphrased, and 'Tens Of' is capitalised that way on the page.
  • 'Pleaded guilty yesterday and today, respectively' in a 2019-09-25 release puts Ovsyannikov's plea at 2019-09-24 and Timchenko's at 2019-09-25.
