They haven't merely "said" it. They have presented a vast amount of evidence and their papers have traversed peer review.

I don't remember but I bet I found out about the memorandum from @joshtpm.bsky.social so credit where it's due.

He /was/ gracious about it.

The government’s sentencing memorandum makes excellent use of visual evidence, including these images (all beautifully integrated into the text): the menu of bribes, copies of bribe checks, handwritten notes fabricating evidence, and color photographs of bribe payments (Persian rugs, real estate, a yacht, and 2 lead glass armoires).
Viewers should click through the pages to see the excellent presentation, which almost looks like a Sotheby’s or Christie’s auction catalog. I couldn’t have done the sentencing memo any better.
This is a wonderful find [which eventually appeared in my Beautiful Evidence] by Kindly Contributor Alexey Merz.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q25tg5qy6kzwtuecpe6b4shw/bafkreihbom3sxj23bbqtk6vfw7pw5iadtm432y5ejh2vdt7ztprbijvfre@jpeg)

I haven't seen him here. He blocked me back on the birdsite but also used one of my suggestions in _Beautiful Evidence_, so I'll call that break-even.

No idea but the author appears to have published four (4) first author papers, all between 2010 and 2014, two of which are reviews and two of which are about lamprey neurons.

Like that one particular rugged individualist guy who is totally unlike all the other guys who drive exactly the same black pickup with the same idiotic Armor-All'd tires, have the same buzzcut, the same dipshit beard, and the same wraparound sunglasses.
