...I felt funny reporting one of my ex-clients to the FBI about a year and
half ago...I hemmed & hawed for about a week then finally I gave in and
called it in...oddly enough it took them about 30 seconds to pull up the
guy's info they knew who he was and where he was and thanked me - that was
it...they wouldn't tell me nuttin...they even knew exactly who I was as
well.
