This actually has the earmarks of people who knew that there ws a wrong committed but who were put in legal chains by policies that turned out to be ineffective.
I think we should just wait before we drop the dime on these people. My own suspicion is that there may be a person whose name we have not heard yet who is the main culprit in making sure that the attempts to put a stop to this failed.
I don't think anyone wants the reality as that would interfere with the chest-beating over what they would have done.
