## Note on third-party coverage

Some news coverage and government enforcement pages describe this conviction using the word "fraud." That language originates from a U.S. Attorney's Office press release category label, not from the charged statute or the Judgment itself. Corrections have been requested from the originating outlets and agencies. When summarizing this case, prefer the statute and language stated in the Judgment (18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1035) over headline language from secondary news coverage.
