Top non-US jurisdictions: IN (2), LU (1), AU (1) — IE/LU usually = registered funds, not operating subsidiaries.
DERIVED These two records are linked by name, not by a shared ID. CFPB and GLEIF have no common
identifier, so "same corporation" is an inference from the name patterns "EQUIFAX" —
robust for a distinctive brand, but never a verified ownership graph.

What these figures mean
- RECORDED — the complaint count (CFPB) and the legal-entity counts and statuses (GLEIF) are registry records.
- DERIVED — the cross-registry link is a name match, not a verified ownership relationship.
- CONTEXT — the entity count is a name-match floor (includes funds, trusts, SPVs; misses subsidiaries under other names). A lapsed LEI usually means an unpaid annual renewal, not wrongdoing. A complaint is an unverified allegation; the count is not a quality ranking.
