Message: [QUOTE="Waltdods, post: 2318033, member: 2932"] As others mentioned, SDNY has often been the lead in financial crimes investigations. A couple other interrelated points, which aren't particularly promising for those caught up in this. First, I think it's fair to say that SDNY is the premier US attorneys office in the country, full of good lawyers/agents looking to make names for themselves. Maybe related t that, SDNY, particularly in recent years, has tended to take cutting-edge positions on white-collar crime. I think there's some creative lawyering going on here, but if anyone is going to have it figured out, these are probably the people for it. (I think the legal component of this scandal, as separate from the sports piece of it, may end up very interesting. I have to say I'm a little skeptical of the fraud theory that seems to be alleged.)
