What would overturn it

A confirmed arrest or authorities publicly locating Leijdekkers before December 7 is the signal we're wrong; his network continuing to move product while he remains at large is the signal we're right.

The verdict

Open  Resolves by 7 Dec 26 — graded at the weekly Reckoning against the criteria above, and recorded here.

As logged at issue

Bolle Jos: we think it's unlikely he's caught within 90 days -- he has evaded a 24-year in-absentia sentence for years while reportedly based in Sierra Leone, and one seizure tied to his network, even a multi-ton one, has not previously translated into his capture. A confirmed arrest or located whereabouts before December 7 is the signal we're wrong.
