What is it with these “allegations”? This is the kind of stuff they would brag about on investor calls.

In legal proceedings, statements like this are allegations. They are not considered to be true or factual until proven in court. You’ll see the word allegedly used even if it seems very obvious that someone did something because that is the correct way to report it.
