As an O/T in regards to LE and the advantages they have with looking at electronics, also how slow and long the "process" is. Please be patient.
I was the president of an organization that had gaming machines in use before I became president. That was April 2010. I told the manager to remove them immediately. She did, but it took a few days. In the meantime the liquor board came in for an inspection and saw that we had unplugged the gaming machines and turned them towards the wall. Later, the owner of the machines came by and picked them up.
A few days later, I got a call at work, our organization was being raided by about 20 LE officers. They downloaded the hard drives right then and there. They actually destroyed one, took the computer and purchased us a new hard drive. We never got the computer back.
Turns out that this man that owned the machines had been under investigation for a very long time, when the machines were moved, they (LE) thought someone tipped him off and acted fast. We all relaxed but during my year as president, I refused to allow ANY type of gambling.
A year later, we were given a ticket so to speak, we could accept a fine of $1000 which did not indicate our guilt or pay a $2000 fine if we faught it and lost. Against my advise, they paid the fine.
Everyone wondered why it was coming up all of a sudden so far after the fact. I tried, without success to express to them that while we may forget about it, it is their job to remember it.
Last week our manager was arrested and charged with promoting gambling, all from this incident that she tried to prevent.
My point in all of this is, even if we don't hear anything from LE, even if they don't answer questions or only answer a tiny portion of the question. They are still investigating.
It's like a black hole, a lot goes in but nothing comes out. No arrest does not mean that someone is innocent or got away with anything, it just means that there is no arrest yet.
