Reasoning
This event describes financial misconduct and suspicious business dealings (mysterious exit from Bear Stearns, association with a convicted fraudster). While financial opacity and criminal associations can support trafficking investigations contextually, this event itself contains no sexual exploitation, procurement, or victim indicators. Score reflects only thread-level context, not trafficking activity.
