The head of a company has been skimming money and defrauding his shareholders ever since the company was first launched. Some of the shareholders think something funny is going on and pressure the boos man to get an auditor in. The boss man does so and gives the auditor a carefully doctored set of records. The auditor finds out that they are doctored and begins telling people. The boss man demands that the auditor give the cooked books back, demands that he shut up and fires him. Now imagine we are not dealing with a businessman, but with an organisation with taxpayer's money and arbitrary powers.
