Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR, which Facebook agreed to acquire in 2014 for about 2 billion US dollars?

Yes. A Wikipedia biography states that Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR and that Facebook acquired Oculus VR in March 2014 for US$2 billion, matching the claim. Other sources confirm only one half each: that Luckey founded Oculus, or that Facebook spent about $2 billion on it.
