Verified just means we can believe that they are who they say they are.

Verified just means we can believe that they are who they say they are. Doesn't mean that they're trustworthy or believable.
Or to put it another way: The identity of their account is verified. The contents of their posts are not verified.

I don't agree with the point OP is trying to make in this instance regarding verification. (Letting that well documented lethally violent gang of thugs use their platform is Bluesky's actual transgression here)

Exactly. Hate bluesky for letting them post the inevitable insane shit they're going to post, not for verifying they're who they say they are.
