Most white collar crime investigations begin in secret. The investigation may be triggered by a Qui Tam complaint alleging a violation of the state or federal False Claims Act. These complaints are filed under seal. Or the investigation may be triggered by an agency referral or a report from a complaining victim. During the covert stage of the investigation, the government may attempt to use undercover techniques such as consensual monitoring of conversations to elicit incriminating admissions. The government will use this period to develop probable cause to obtain a search warrant.

Kong.
Blair’s boot gets the better of Bath
Cardiff Blues reached the semi-finals of the EDF Energy Cup last night despite
having to fend off a dominant Bath for most of the match. Bath were
generally in control but were kept at bay by tremendous defence, while the

Hamilton’s second time lucky?
“I’m human. There’s nerves. Nerves of excitement and it’s never nerves of thinking you might fail. It’s just the adrenaline pumping and wondering whether you’ll get the start perfect, what’s going to happen in the first corner because it’s unknown. You have absolutely no clue about what’s going to happen – do you go left, do you go right, do you brake early, do you brake late, will you get hit from behind, will you get a flat tyre?”

Massa ready to crown maturity
In all the chauvinistic excitement surrounding Lewis Hamilton’s fight for the world championship it is easy to overlook the fact that Felipe Massa would be an equally worthy champion. Indeed, without the engine failure that cost him the Hungarian Grand Prix, or the pit-stop shambles that did likewise in Singapore, the Sao Paolo 27-year-old could already have clinched the title.
‘We got a lot of work done,’ says happy Hamilton after practice
Lewis Hamilton set only the ninth fastest time during yesterday’s second practice session for the race that will decide whether he becomes the sport’s 30th and youngest world champion. But he was completely cool about it.

Hard though it is to grasp, it seems that the players and administrators of English cricket didn’t realise until too late the truth that has run through every ghastly moment of their misadventure in the Caribbean.
Hamilton: ‘The main thing is that I have a fantastic family behind me’
“You know, if Lewis makes it to Formula One next year,” Anthony Hamilton said quietly in the GP2 paddock at the Hungaroring in 2006, “I don’t suppose I will go to more than three or four grands prix a year. I would feel like I was in the way, some sort of intruder who didn’t belong…”
Radcliffe the Big Apple’s ‘marathon mom’
The lead story on the heaps of The New York Times spread about the foyer of the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan at breakfast-time yesterday spelled bad news for the female support runner in the interminable marathon of a US election campaign. According to a poll by the newspaper, 59 per cent of voters deem Sarah Palin unqualified for the post of vice-president. So much, then, for the drawing power of the celebrated Hockey Mom.
