My guess is they would have been spotted any issues on the compression tests(28 days?) before they added six additional floors.
Another guess, a tilesetter (?) is unhappy about leveling up the floors, tells everyone that the decks are way out...
More fake news.
Hey! Give those builders some credit! The coring and foundation sucked, but the building held together pretty well on the way down! Some of those windows didn’t even break!
