Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier one: the federal investigative agency's own case history of the Heritage USA fraud investigation and prosecution, published on its own website. Its strength is that it is the investigating agency's own primary institutional record; its limit is that it summarizes the agency's own case for general readers rather than reproducing court filings themselves. NotesThe federal agency that led the investigation, publishing its own case history. This is a primary institutional account of the mechanism of the fraud, the lifetime partnership scheme itself, rather than a secondary retelling.
