We have to be careful with benford's law. It's a math law, not a US law. I think it's supplementary, but I'm not so sure it would stand alone as evidence. But I'm not a lawyer.

No this is more for redpilling. Can’t imagine this would do anything in court.

I could be wrong, but I believe I read that benford's law has been used in court in the past. I would agree though that it's more supplementary than undeniable proof in an of itself.

I was told it was used in the Enron case, but that could be fake news.
