The Whistleblower is probably someone who was not included in on skimming Winery profits.

Aside: so-called “progressivism” turned a nation where people had Liberty into one where they need government approval for most anything that they do even as it liberated government from that nasty idea of enumerated powers in favor of Arbitrary government.

A free people benefit from a government in chains.

A government that is free to do as it please benefits from laying chains on the people.

It looks like a moderately sized home operation.

What was illegal about it?
