PUBLICATION UPDATE: Full original Car Choice statement versions were subsequently recovered in the parent investigation through x.com-alias Wayback captures. The earlier body-recovery failures described below belong to this archive lane; consult ../root/CHOICE-PAYMENT-VERIFIED.json for the later primary result. The current-status register and counts are unchanged.

Public archive expansion and current deletion register — 31 October 2026

Primary result
398 distinct requested status IDs checked against first-party X syndication between 02:13:25 and 02:21:18 UTC. 314 returned an explicit author-deleted tombstone; 84 requests returned live Tweets. Four live requests normalize to another original status ID, leaving 80 unique live returned IDs: 79 by Car and one by official PolymarketTrade. Counts are status IDs, not logical posts; deleted tombstones omit edit-family metadata.

All 311 IDs from the retained car_deleted_posts.csv baseline were freshly confirmed author-deleted. Three additional known incident IDs are also author-deleted: 2115862718452298234, 2115869417775255804, and 2115881859704078520. ID 2115881498477785393 is a LIVE official PolymarketTrade reimbursement update, not Car's rescue claim.

The expansion discovered 83 requested IDs beyond the 311 baseline (55 static-source archive URLs, 22 recent mirror leads, and six additional edit versions). Their first-party results normalize to 79 unique live Car Tweets. No additional new deletion was found in that expansion. Mirrors are discovery leads only; current status, author IDs, edit metadata, and quoted official post links come from first-party responses.

New retained context
Car's live reply 2115875261191200803 at 18:35:47 UTC on October 29 directly replies under his deleted initial loss claim 2115862718452298234 and quotes PolymarketTrade's vendor-fixed/make-whole update 2115874609014726842. The reply only shares the official statement and does not establish loss amount or attacker identity.

Seven live primary edit families / 16 captured versions are retained in EDIT-FAMILIES-PRIMARY.json. The Nov29 2025 family adds 'for the last 600 days' to the average $1K/day claim, then corrects a typo. Other retained edits concern formatting, handle correction, grammar, and a design-brief addition. Edits alone establish no misconduct, and longer syndication text can be truncated.

Donation/archive gap
Ethos450 explicitly cites already known Jun24 post 2069909899048337452, not a newly discovered separate donation post. It contains allegations, not findings. Ghost6AvLo wrapper names the same post and a Jun26 11:34:58 UTC archive date. Underlying WARC, www/range WARC, and the explicit no-JS fallback timed out; original full post body and receipt media were not recovered here. The wrapper excerpt cannot substitute for the original captured body. No further retries remain running.

Wayback broad/narrow index queries failed with503, timeout or refusal; creation-time direct incident probes404. Neither result proves there are no captures elsewhere. Retain the provider gap precisely.

Raw social responses, source HTML/JS, archive wrappers, and complete text/diffs are retained locally for verification. Select excerpts deliberately before publishing. No new Car-to-drainer attribution evidence or additional proven misconduct was established by this archive lane. Prior evidence and dist were not modified.
