Entries / A · Impersonation

One-line description of what happened, stated plainly

Two or three sentences. What happened, who it affected, how it came to light. No adjectives that the sources do not support.
Mechanism — One line only. What made this possible, what control it defeated, or what the numbers do and do not establish. Use Mechanism, Open question, or Numbers check.

Optional longer body. Most entries do not need one. Use it when the case has an aftermath worth tracing, a contested figure worth unpacking, or a legal question that will take years to resolve.

Copy this file, rename it, and set published to true.
