  Just assume they all are - I’d be willing to bet it would be the cheaper option than paying staff to sift through the reports then refunding the legit ones.

  Burn it all down and start fresh.

    Oh, we can’t do that - let’s spend 100 million making sure we don’t pay anyone a dollar more than we have to. You know, to cut costs.

    Yep I agree. And I expect that’s what will happen… but the sensible thing isn’t to just make an arbitrary decision, they need to investigate it and consider all options first.
