I approved this, however I don't think this is necessarily the most logical way to write an article like this. Should probably be more chronological and less on specific people involved. Decently referenced though. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:28, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Further: Should probably have something like a background section, how the scandal was uncovered, then the legal proceedings, then aftermath/analysis. A lot of that content is here (hence why I approved it) it would just be better arranged in that manner PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:36, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
