| 2026-05-19 | Needs review | claude/cowork-pass-c-followthrough-2026-05-19 | **Date discrepancy resolved + filename rename + metadata corrections.** Pass C follow-through: opened the PDF to settle the prior `2026-05-19_expos-rico-complaint-2000-vs-2002.md` discrepancy. Findings: (a) the filing date is **July 16, 2002**, not 2000 — confirmed by PDF Subject metadata ('July 16, 2002 Complaint (baseball racketeering suit)'), PDF CreationDate (Tue Jul 16 11:55:57 2002 EDT), and substantive allegations referencing 2001 events that would be impossible to allege in a 2000 filing; the signature-line 'Dated: July 16, 2000' on PDF p. 45 is a clerical typo against the document's own internal evidence. (b) The court is **U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida** (PDF p. 1 caption), not the previously-guessed 'D. Mass. or S.D.N.Y.' (c) The named plaintiffs are 14 **Canadian corporate entities** (BMO Nesbitt Burns, BCE, Cascades, Esarbee Investments, Fairmont Hotel & Resorts, Fédération des Caisses Desjardins du Québec, Fonds de Solidarité des Travailleurs du Québec, Freemark Holdings, Loblaws, M&S Sports, Provigo, Telemedia Communications, 98362 Canada Inc., 114114 Canada Inc.), not 'Stephen Bronfman, Avie Bennett, et al.' as the prior metadata stated; the actual defendants are Jeffrey H. Loria, David Samson, Allan 'Bud' Selig, the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, Robert DuPuy, Baseball Expos GP, Inc., and Baseball Expos L.P. (no John Henry or '30 Major League Clubs' as defendants on the caption page; the complaint's substantive allegations describe the alleged Loria/MLB scheme and may reference other actors as co-conspirators but they are not named defendants). Filename renamed `2000_filing_...` → `2002-07-16_filing_...` per NAMING.md §2.1; old filename preserved in `file.previous_filenames`. Title, citation, parties, and jurisdiction updated. INDEX, WANTLIST, related_documents cross-references, and PROVENANCE_LOG also updated. Resolves prior discrepancy note `research-logs/discrepancies/2026-05-19_expos-rico-complaint-2000-vs-2002.md` — the wantlist's prior note that the complaint was 'filed 2000, not 2002 as originally entered' was itself wrong (the original metadata date `2002` was correct; the filename's `2000` was wrong). No status change. |
