hclasvegas: common, you have to stop reading the NYTs bud. Are you saying all these public companies committed securities fraud, with fake disclosure's [sic]?

The answer is right in your link:

However, those figures are largely estimates because of how difficult it is for retailers to figure out whether an item was stolen, lost or missing for other reasons. It’s not like thieves inform retailers about the merchandise they’re taking with them.

So, as the NYT's article (which you didn't seem to have read) said, the total percentage of retail theft attributed to organized theft was based on faulty data. The NYTs did not suggest retailers were intentionally deceptive (committed fraud) but as they acknowledged when they corrected their figures (after lobbying Congress with incorrect data), they were mistaken.

LurkerMom: In Sept. 2018, the AllSides team conducted an extensive Editorial Review of the New York Times Editorial Board.

As usual, you're wrong. The NYT's article came from the news side of the paper, not the editorial side.

But thanks for playing.
