A Documented 32-Year Investigation Into Power, Accountability, and the Cost of Persistence
Introduction
This website presents a long-form, independently funded investigative project examining documented allegations of misconduct, failures of oversight, and institutional decision-making within certain federal law enforcement agencies between 1993 and 2025.
The content is intended for informational, historical, and research purposes and is based on publicly available records and documented correspondence.
This project does not allege criminal conclusions and does not assert findings of guilt or wrongdoing.

Research Background
This site documents a long-running investigation into alleged institutional failures involving federal law enforcement decision-making between the early 1990s and approximately 2020. It examines how major fraud cases involving student loan programs and public education funds were investigated, prosecuted, or left unresolved, based on court filings, correspondence, and public records.

Many of these requests are publicly available through independent transparency platforms and are referenced throughout this site.
