We need to be really careful quoting cameo because Miles repeatedly states that most of what he's saying is his own head canons and should not be taken as Word Of God facts about the show. We know the Lien one is factual because he states he contacted Kerry first to clarify things before answering the question, but the Oscar thing was part of his fanfic head canon which started with a disclaimer, so it would require a proper Word Of God confirmation elsewhere.

** Most Lien prices seen in the show come from adding zeros to the end of the U. S. Dollar price of similar real world items.
