Horizon IT Scandal: Postmasters await justice today

good try but no cigar.

Seen this question stump many vendors.

A duplicate depends on the system.

Lots of companies/organisations deal with duplicates and the ones I've contacted for admit they have issues with cleansing them.

it does indeed we had challenges 35 years ago. Its still one of the most difficult data problems. Frequently you get enough to cause problems but not enough to be sure it is a duplicate.

Oh, look: there's another one a bit earlier:

The scandal was the coverup, but incase anyone is interested in the poor development standards:

Testimony from one of the software development manager (David McDonnell):

Out of the 8 developers on the team, 2 were good/capable, 2 were mediocre/ok but 4 were 'not up to producing professional code'.
No coding standards
No peer code reviews
No unit or integration tests
No methodology
No design specs/documents for lower level module designs, just a high level design.
Dev team was the wild west. No structure no rules or discipline, 'wild west'
Several thousand oustanding bugs.

If interested you can easily watch the following video testimony at double speed as they talk quite slow.

This guy sounds nice… says bloke who was cleared was guilty, had to be compelled to appear the enquiry, and he was too busy walking his dog to put any proper effort into his statement
