Look at the messages again. Most are not with Lola, but screenshots from her source, who is verified. Lola's message is at the bottom and is not verified.

Verified doesn't mean what you think it means on signal. I can "verify" a safety number from a contact with that name without actually verifying it is them.
Yes I understand that. I was pointing out that Lola's direct message to Luke was not verified, which contradicts your initial statement.
