OS–
Earlier this year, the Florida Attorney General’s Office was in the midst of a pull-no-punches investigation into foreclosure fraud.
Investigators were exposing rampant abuses. They’d netted a $2 million settlement from one company. And they were gunning for more.
But then in May, two things happened:
First, the “special counsel” to Attorney General Pam Bondi left to take a high-level job with one of the very companies the office was investigating.
One week later, the investigators were forced out of their jobs, told late on a Friday afternoon that they had 90 minutes to decide whether to resign or be fired.
