Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Nicky Barnes — Barnes was born on October 15, 1933, not 1934.

Nicky Barnes — The claim that Gallo 'passed on knowledge' and 'asked him to assemble personnel' is not supported by established canon; Barnes built his organization independently after release.

Odilo Globocnik — Himmler reinstated Globocnik to the SS, not directly to the Nazi Party; the entry incorrectly states Himmler reinstated him to the party.

Oleg Penkovsky — Penkovsky's MI6 codename was 'YOGI' (or 'Yogi'), not 'Yoga'.

Oleg Penkovsky — The claim that a 1978 CIA review established Penkovsky was not under Soviet control is misleading; the review actually raised questions about possible double-agent status and did not definitively conclude he was not under control.

Stanley Williams — The Crips were formed around 1969, not 1971; Williams met Washington in 1971 after the gang already existed, so the claim of an alliance forming the Crips in 1971 is incorrect.

Stanley Williams — Williams was not expelled from George Washington Preparatory High School; historical records indicate he attended that school but was expelled from a different school or dropped out, so the specific expulsion claim is inaccurate.

Stephanie St. Clair — The entry states she immigrated to the United States in 1911, but widely accepted fact is she arrived in 1912.

Stephanie St. Clair — The entry says she shot her husband Sufi Abdul Hamid in January 1938, but they were not legally married at the time.

Ted Bundy — The entry states Bundy was born at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers, but authoritative sources consistently identify his birthplace as the Burlington Home for Unwed Mothers (or DeGoesbriand Memorial Hospital's maternity ward for unwed mothers), not th

Tetsuya Yamagami — The entry states Yamagami's older brother died by suicide in 2015, but does not specify the cause as cancer; some sources report he had cancer, but the entry's omission or imprecise mention of lymphoma is a factual error.

Thug Behram — The entry states Buhram was captured in 1835 or early 1836, but cites the 1837 testimony of Ramzan as the source for the capture story, creating a timeline inconsistency; the capture predates the testimony.

Thug Behram — The entry says Buhram 'was never sentenced to life imprisonment' in the 'DID YOU KNOW' section, but this is an invented claim; historical records do not indicate that he was sentenced to life imprisonment or that such a sentence was relevant, and the phrasing
