So this was a whole shit show that as of now has cost me 2 days of investigation, clean-up, mitigation, will likely cost me more time & also feels extremely crappy all in all.
I'm just glad I didn't base any *really* important decisions on those manipulated numbers, that would have been REALLY bad.
Now I have to live with knowing that most of the growth I saw the past 2 years was likely faked, which feels quite terrible tbh. Feels like not doing a good job after all.
