FBI ignored a tip/report I filed about the corrupted residency program director at one of the biggest (probably the biggest in NY metro area because they accept like 30+ PGY-1 residency spots each year) training hospitals in Brooklyn, NY. It is well known in the medical community that if one wants to get into that residency program, one needs to approach a woman who has a good connection with the program director. Then one must pay up and get accepted in the residency program (from the rumors, I hear that it costs about $60K). I shared FBI the Facebook profile of the woman and the name of the program director along with other detailed information that I knew. It was enough information for any ambitious FBI agent to start investigating and easily catch the corruption (residency application cycle is short; it starts in September and last until about January/Feburary and one can easily track the communications between that lady and the program director). I also told them that they can contact me if they want more details.
I presume they receive thousands of reports like mine, so my tip/report was probably ignored. I wonder how many people are tasked to filter such reports at FBI and how many credible tips slipped through the cracks.
