They should use a portion of these funds to setup specific task forces to dig deeper into the company and provide oversight indefinitely. $4.3B is a lot of money, you could fund an agency forever and still have change.
4.3B doesn’t last as long as you think, especially once you need to staff 100’s of people, the equipment and tech they need to work, office building(s) for them. Especially if you put that office and staff on either coast. They’ll burn that in 3 years tops
Would they need all those resources dedicated to just one company? I feel like they wouldn't have spent anywhere near $4.3B. Considering the investigation was started in 2021 so let's say 2 years or $3B. It seems extremely unlikely and even more than 1 order of magnitude off.
