No documented enforcement against Peter Thiel

Peter Thiel has 2 documented facts referencing violations, fines, settlements, or fraud, but no connection in the platform's graph documents an enforcement action, prosecution, sanction, or consent decree against them. This may indicate the platform's data is incomplete — or it may indicate a real enforcement gap. Either way, it's worth a closer look.
