About This Tracker
This timeline reference helps users understand complex legal investigations by mapping key dates, allegations, and public statements in chronological order. The tool started as a way to track the BTCM case but the framework works for any legal timeline with multiple parties and public statements.
The allegation tags connect events across time. Click any tag to see all events connected to the same claim type. This shows how allegations evolve and how responses address them.
Legal cases involve many moving parts. The timeline helps by showing cause and effect relationships. When a denial appears, you can see what preceded it. When a settlement occurs, you can see what led to it.

Assumptions: Only public information is tracked. Court dates reflect when events became public, not when they occurred privately. Allegation tags represent categories, not legal conclusions.
How to verify: Check official court records for primary sources. This tracker shows relationships between events, not evidence quality.
