Document authenticity — Layer 2: cross-document agreementLayer 2 of 3surfaced for review, not scored
Layer 2 of document authenticity: does the SAME figure agree ACROSS documents? UMFR reconciles a figure reported in one document against the same figure (same as-of, same definition) in another. Agreement within tolerance stays silent; a disagreement beyond tolerance is surfaced for review.

Peregrine-produced U.S. Bank statement (forged)
$221,770,946.18
U.S. Bank statement of record (account #621010845)
$6,337,628.14
Cross-document disagreement of $215,433,318.04 (97.14% of the larger figure), above the 0.50% tolerance.
Provenance: Real-anchored reconstruction from the public record (FBI affidavit via contemporaneous trade press; CFTC; DOJ guilty plea). The cent-level figures are press-quoted (the original affidavit PDF is not at a stable public URL); the round form (~$221.8M vs ~$6.3M) is corroborated by AP/CBS/Fox. Pinned to the one Dec 31 2011 statement pair (a second May 2011 pair is excluded). Not a claim beyond the public record.

The same figure agrees across both documents within tolerance.
The authenticity layers
- Layer 1 — internal consistency: does a document's own numbers hold together?
- Layer 2 — cross-document agreement: does the same figure agree across documents?
- Layer 3 — external confirmation: the deferred partner ceiling (a coordinated forgery consistent across all documents still passes Layers 1-2).
Honest boundary
Peregrine Financial Group (Wasendorf, 2012) is why Layer 2 exists beyond Layer 1: the forged U.S. Bank statement FOOTED INTERNALLY, so Layer 1 would not surface it — it was caught only by reconciling against the bank's own record (a ~$215M disagreement). A disagreement is a signal for review, not an accusation (innocent causes: timing/cut-off, restatement, definitional differences, rounding). Cross-document AGREEMENT still does not prove authenticity — a coordinated forgery consistent across BOTH documents would pass. That is Layer 3: external confirmation (bank statements, third-party confirmations, registry pulls), the deferred partner ceiling.
