complicity by doing nothing.

As Mark also had noted (great minds & all that)



What is going on in Wall of Silence in Chapter 8?

Young creative woman being exploited sexually and financially by rich
unattached guy.
(The “free radicals” of the socius!)

Which maybe the bar is a nexus for that sort of behavior not just Lucas?

And only Maxine speaks up about it.



Transparency.org

Is the propagator of Corruption Perception Index (I like how the initials
are the same as Consumer Price Index) and the Global Corruption Barometer.

Their funding is listed

Their story
https://www.transparency.org/en/our-story

This is another bunch of the good guys. A successful instantiation of the
Counterforce in real life, if you will.

An anti-corruption (which is more diffuse & generalized than fraud? But
corruption enables fraud…) organization at a different stratum of
society than that occupied by the ACFE?

They have a YouTube channel
