What if they never existed in the first place and the numbers were made up to placate Trump

That's kind of a best case scenario in this situation.

Or to boost invoices on per capita contracts.

The private contractor gets about $100/ day per person, so they so have an incentive to make up numbers. $100k / day out of the $250B is a rounding error.

Stop inventing fantasies that absolve nazis from horrors.

Nazis are horrible but since the 30s they’ve been making numbers up to look good to their superiors.

It’s part of why authoritarian regimes fail.
