“They stole from the government, And we do not know who turned them in. Maybe it was just a government audit that discovered it or some reporter.”
They stole from the government? And you know tis how? If this was a fact, would there not have been arrests?
From talks I’ve heard from the AG and from conversations with investigators, the overwhelming majority of any case or investigation (other than perhaps violent crimes) cames from complaints, real or otherwise.
I know people who have been harassed by meshugaim calling in some alleged complaint to a government agency, which then decides it has to “investigate”. You don’t like a charity or someone who works, a quick call to the Attorney General’s office with some trumped up complaint or allegation will cause tremendous hardship and cost.
The costs to the harassee are huge even though there is no case. I have seen this happen more than once, where I know the exact details.
