“Chain of Custody” and “organized paperwork” are not advanced concepts. Not everyone has an interest in such things — but people who do this for a living SHOULD have a natural tendency to be scrupulous about the details.

In short: If you do this for a living, and you botch it so flagrantly, then you’re a crook trying to pull a fast one. No other excuse.
