Custody precision review October 13, 2026: DOJ's original extradition announcement confirms the December 27, 2012 Brooklyn arraignment following extradition from Canada, not the precise day of initial US admission or the beginning of Canadian detention. The existing December admission month is retained; the unsupported 594-day exact total is cleared. Exact admission and an identifiable photograph remain unresolved.
