Dibutuhkan waktu setahun untuk memverifikasi kebenaran foto yang bersangkutan. “Kami harus benar-benar yakin soal di mana, kapan, bagaimana, dan mengapa foto tersebut diambil. Sekedar mirip saja tak cukup untuk kasus semacam ini,” sebut David McCarthy dari Kagin’s, sebagaimana dirangkum Nextren dari The Guardian.
