Why did it take you guys so long to cotton on to it? He was driving around in a Jaguar, lived in a mansion and bought his wife expensive clothes. On a government salary. Surely the "inheritance from the inlaws" bullshit wouldn't have stood up to 5 minutes of investigation. What went wrong? Who was asleep at the switch?

I don't recall him saying he didn't.

so I speak with a fusion of Australian, English, and Hassidic New York.

What the fuck does that even sound like? I'm picturing Mel Brooks Dundee or something.

I get what you're saying, and that is the "official line." But that just answers why their sources kept getting burned. It doesn't answer why the man was living extravagantly outside of his means. Surely you'd take note of someone who spent half their yearly salary every month.

Her answers are a pretty good insight into why it took years to figure out the guy who was spending half his yearly salary every month was on the take. She's probably (hopefully) one of the incompetent buffoons they fired after Ames broke (remember she said herself that she 'retired' right after Ames was arrested).
