About these sources
Named defendants — persons and organizations — extracted from DOJ enforcement press releases: the specific people and companies the government charged, indicted, or convicted, as distinct from the press releases themselves.
What a match means: A match is a named subject of a US federal enforcement action; if only charged or indicted, the person is presumed innocent — check the recorded disposition (charged, pleaded, convicted, sentenced) before treating it as adverse.
