The Central Limit Theorem and Sampling

This is a pretty loose statement of the central limit theorem. Sample averages converge to the population average by the strong law of large numbers (almost surely, under some mild conditions). The central limit theorem is a statement about the differences between sample averages and population mean. Multiply the differences (sample avg. - pop mean) by sqrt(sample size) and let sample size go to infinity to converge to a Normal distribution. (under some stronger conditions).
Nope. Not true for all the distributions. For example, stock prices cannot be used in central limit theorem.
Distributions must have second moment, in other words, have finite variance.
Give me real examples of data sampling in the wild - how did you obtain this and that dataset? How did you clean up data x? How did you infer that the API provider’s server was misconfiguring the parameter X and therefore 10% of our cashflow was attributed to Wednesday last week instead of today?
