Risk Digest
The flagship, near-daily updated database of documented AI hallucination and sanction incidents in legal proceedings worldwide. Each entry is a structured record, not a news article: jurisdiction, court, judge (if named), the AI tool implicated, penalty amount, ruling date, a confirmed-vs-reported status flag, and a link to the primary court order. Serves the 'check risk' and 'track regulation' tasks: a lawyer, risk manager, or journalist scanning for new sanctions, a specific jurisdiction, or a specific tool. Excludes narrative commentary, procedural how-to guidance (belongs in Workflows), and rule text summaries (belongs in Regulation). This group is the site's differentiation engine: freshness and per-record sourcing are the moat, so every record must carry a last-verified timestamp distinct from the ruling date.
Confirmed
A court order or docket entry has been independently verified.
Reported — unverified
Still pending independent verification against a primary source.

The legal claim to an Amazon tariff refund belongs to the importer of record on the CBP entry, not the seller who paid the fee or the marketplace that collected it. Seller eligibility depends on holding importer-of-record status and acting within the CAPE declaration window or the 180-day protest deadline; sellers without that status are left to contractual pass-through rather than a direct claim against CBP.

The $600 million in Amazon tariff-refund headlines is customs money refunded to Amazon itself, not a payout pool consumers can claim, and Amazon has published no claim form. The only genuine consumer claim in this story is the separate $2.5 billion FTC Prime settlement, whose deadline has now passed; this guide separates the two so you can spot scams that blur them.
