Not quite.
If you take the time to carefully read my posts it’s clear I’m very specific that merely locating a building at the claimed address is not how I’m using Street View. You have to find the locksmith’s sign on the storefront using Street View and it has to match the listing. In the New York Times story a building could be seen at the claimed address on Street View, but no sign for the company. The purported sign was only visible in a Photoshoped photo on the fake locksmith’s website, and not in the Google Street View photos.
