All figures are as stated in the video — most are allegations, not adjudicated findings. Every dollar figure links to the timestamp where it is said. Extraction QA: Extraction is accurate; all five monetary claims are supported by the transcript with correct amounts and attributions. Only minor issue is classifying the $9 million mansion purchase as 'income_figure' rather than a context/asset figure. Entities and locations are all fairly represented.
