Notes and record state

Record note
Added from verified-unadded row hei_unadded_0600 after event-backed review. The DOJ source does not name Crema Finance directly; Axios and CoinDesk are used to connect the public case and exploit reporting to Crema Finance. Improve later if archived official Crema Finance incident posts are found.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
