The data should be relevant for June 30th, 2023. However, I am not sure if that is the complete list of all merit sources.
In any case, since OP created a new account only for opening this thread as his very first post on the forum (at least under the new account), perhaps he can also come up with some names or substantial evidence. Unless he created the thread only for some more drama.
Since i receive notification from your post, i'd like to say that those list isn't 100% accurate since it also list former merit source and very recently appointed merit source (i don't know last time it happened) who haven't sent much merit.
