1
00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:04.190
Every seller, platform and buyer
in this market is invented.

2
00:00:04.210 --> 00:00:06.590
It was built to test the engine.

3
00:00:07.017 --> 00:00:13.977
The engine read 211 sales and 611
listings and returned 267 findings.

4
00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:17.950
Each one is an evidence packet:
the records the finding rests on,

5
00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:23.037
a fingerprint of every record, the
parameters in force and the engine version.

6
00:00:23.057 --> 00:00:26.590
The packets are sealed together
under one value, the Merkle root,

7
00:00:26.610 --> 00:00:27.930
and the seal is filed with

8
00:00:27.950 --> 00:00:32.037
the Department of Licensing and Consumer
Protection when the run is made.

9
00:00:32.057 --> 00:00:35.770
Change one price in one record
and the root stops matching.

10
00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:39.050
Counsel can hand a court a single
packet with its path to the root

11
00:00:39.070 --> 00:00:43.530
and prove it belongs to the sealed run,
with the rest of the ledger kept back.

12
00:00:43.550 --> 00:00:47.855
Findings carry grades. A bright
line is a rule broken as written,

13
00:00:47.875 --> 00:00:54.130
and one record with a verified first-sale
price proves it. This run has 196.

14
00:00:54.150 --> 00:01:00.630
On 30 completed sales, buyers
paid $1,255.82 over the lines,

15
00:01:00.650 --> 00:01:02.943
and that sum is the restitution.

16
00:01:02.963 --> 00:01:05.205
A pattern rests on many records together:

17
00:01:05.225 --> 00:01:09.645
sellers repricing in lockstep, or
prices that moved with who was asking.

18
00:01:09.665 --> 00:01:14.623
The engine sends these 21 to your office
as referrals that mark where to look.

19
00:01:14.643 --> 00:01:18.330
The last 50 are data gaps, tests
the records could not settle,

20
00:01:18.350 --> 00:01:20.650
reported as gaps and left open.

21
00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:24.830
Whether any of it breaks the law is for
your office and the court to decide.
