I couldn't have said it better myself. What I've witnessed is that companies are apt to lie down in favor of the FBI because building up a rapport with the FBI can be a good thing in certain business models. (don't ask).
The DoJ is well-aware of this, I'm sure, and is only too happy to throw its full weight around.

- MiguelHudnandez 15y agoHe said "don't ask" but I still would've asked if you didn't.
- cheez 15y agoI've heard of someone through an acquaintance whose company gets something like $60 mill in revenue from one of those iffy agencies of the US. It's nothing to sneeze at. Officially, I think it's called the "brown nose" business model.
