Sounds like now is a great time to be a WM employee if you don't mind taking bribes from criminals.

I love the WM, but this is terrible, because they don't have controls around the chain of evidence. Any page can be modified in the archive by an employee, both before and after a page has been identified as evidence.

A note to the above since I can't edit anymore: I'm basing what I said on a guess about their internal controls and assuming they don't spend the time and money to maintain a chain of evidence, but I have no direct knowledge of their internal controls.
