Chain of custody

Offered to this newspaper by an intermediary who declined to name the original holder, declined to explain how it was obtained, and asked for a fee. We declined it on all three grounds and returned the copy unread beyond the first page. We are listing it here because our rule is that the record of what we refuse is as public as the record of what we run.

Held by: Not held. Returned.

Editor's note

The intermediary has since offered the same document to at least two other outlets, both of which have told us they also declined.
