JAVICE told Scientist-1 [...] that she had a database of approximately 4 million
people and wanted to create a database of anonymized data that mirrored the

**a data set of approximately 142,000 people** (emphasis added) -
was a random sample of a larger database which contained data for approximately
4 million people. In fact, that data represented every Frank user who had at
