Article is written in neutral narrative voice with no loaded language or editorializing. The central $900 million figure is corroborated by The Daily Caller and Axios in the references. The Haberman claim is now attributed to a source and no longer overstates the specific figure. Headline is accurate ('at least $900 million') and not sensational. The optional Guardian framing suggestion was not added, but declining to insert the 'most openly corrupt' language is defensible on neutrality grounds. No contested claim, figure, or quote lacks reference support. Approved.
