Hi all-

Often (but not always) the party being investigated will receive a "target letter" from the feds putting them on notice of the investigation and ordering them to retain all records, computer files, etc. This also gives the feds additional grounds (obstruction) to go after the target if the party trashes the hard drive, shreds documents, or otherwise impedes the investigation.

If Doug's quote about no knowledge of an investigation is correct I think it's too early to surmise that Mastro is a target of the investigation, and the reporter may just be reading tea leaves or he may have an ax to grind with Mastro.

Just my two cents.
