Corroboration.

Will dealer speak to AP?
+1 if this thing blows up, (which is the intended goal here), then dealer will find himself in the news anyway

I'm surprised nobody is willing to go on record, this is your biggest opportunity to get this resolved, once the AP picks it up, it'll be everywhere.

There are people who are not on DDF who this affected. I know of one who I am sending this to to see if he'll go on record - but perhaps if the dealer sent out an email some people would come forward.

Maybe give it some time.  Some of the victims don't seem to be around.

You wouldn't? Not many people involved that have a firm grasp of legal issues and could speak as lucidly as you could.

I'd still bet it's a rogue algorithm and not human eyes.
I don't see how this could be good for Google.

AP needs at least 1 more person to go on the record before they'll publish the story.
PM me...
