What is real
The story borrows the credibility of a real case: Moffatt v. Air Canada, the 2024 tribunal ruling over a chatbot's invented bereavement refund, which is on the receipts. The two must not be merged. The 2024 ruling is documented in a court record. The 1,247 figure is not documented anywhere.
Record
Published September 1, 2026. A claim listed here is not proven false. It is unverified after a search of the places a real event of that size would have to appear. If a primary source turns up, the entry moves to the receipts, with the source.
