should you be one of those rubes who believe what the tv tells you about how 'our' government stands for law and order with the fbi being a salient force for that, i suggest you consider the following presentation; 

I tried to report a crime last week.  It was a serious crime, too.  Rather, it was a whole bunch of federal crimes.  It was impossible to find anybody interested.

Let me start at the beginning.  Over the past year, I have developed first-hand knowledge of what I believe is a major international fraud.  The principal is an American citizen who is defrauding investors in a financial technology bank scam based overseas, and the investors include people in the United States and in at least three foreign countries.

I have thousands of pages of evidence, including forged documents, surreptitious recordings of the principal admitting to his crime, and affidavits from his former employees and targets.

So, what do you do when you have evidence of a major federal crime?  You go to the FBI and report it.  That’s exactly what I did.  At least, that’s what I tried to do.

Last week my attorney and I walked over to the FBI’s Washington Field Office and told the officer on duty that we wanted to report a federal crime.  Sorry, the agent told us.  You can’t do it like that.  You have to go to the Washington, D.C., police department and report it to them.  Once they determine that it is indeed a federal crime, they’ll refer it to us.

That sounded awfully inefficient — but totally unsurprising — so we walked the two blocks to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

When we got to MPD, we couldn’t get past the lobby.  The police officer on duty told us that we couldn’t enter without an appointment, and we couldn’t get an appointment without a referral.  We told him why we were there, and he said he would call the Detective Bureau’s Fraud Division.

Five minutes later, the officer returned to say that we had to call 311 in order to report the crime.  “Isn’t that the number you call to report a pothole that needs to be filled?” I asked.  Yes, he nodded reluctantly.  “I understand that you’re just the messenger,” I told him.  “But you realize how ridiculous this sounds, right?”  He nodded.  “Sorry,” he said.  “I wish I could help.”........read more.........
