The only sources that state the seven-geolocation breakdown (three Pacific, four Caribbean) are the podcast transcripts that repeat the claimant's own passage, so they cannot corroborate it. The investigation's own outlet and Airwars describe the project without giving this count, and no independent source confirms or disputes it. The extraction is faithful to the passage.
The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.
What was said
… The majority of the men hail from Venezuela and Mexico, while a few are from Colombia, Ecuador, Trinidad and Tobago, and Saint Lucia. The Los Bombardeados investigation has been able to geolocate seven of the boat strikes: three in the Pacific and four in the Caribbean. Of the two in the Pacific, two took place broadly near the Mexico border, and one strike occurred about halfway between Mexico and Ecuador. …
Behind the Bastards · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The Los Bombardeados investigation is documented by Airwars and El Clip (CLIP), which describe its cross-border reporting and the victims it named, but neither mentions a geolocation count of seven strikes.[2][3]
Context. The seven-strike geolocation breakdown appears only in podcast transcripts that restate the claimant's passage word for word, which is circular and provides no independent corroboration.[4][5]
Context. Mainstream strike trackers (NYT, InSight Crime, WOLA) report overall strike locations and totals from US government postings, and say those locations are not independently confirmed; none attributes a geolocation count to the investigation.[1][6][7]
