Noticed it for years mate. The pattern is too consistent to just wave away as coincidence. You look at the numbers and something doesn't add up.
What gets me is how often it happens right at the critical window - days or weeks before testimony, before documents get released, before trials kick off. That's not bad luck, that's a pattern.
I'm not saying every single case is dodgy but when you stack them up the probability of that many "convenient" deaths clustering around major legal proceedings is basically zero. Any analyst worth his salt would flag that as statistically significant.
Anyone been keeping a proper running list? Would be worth collating the cases somewhere on here so we can actually look at the data properly rather than just trading individual examples.
