If there were records showing the problem was worse than what was caught in the sting, it would make no sense that it was hushed up.

I think one of the tantalizing aspects to the story is the DA being purportedly kept out of the loop.

The story goes that once he became aware last week of the case and the deal, he actually fired the ADA, Cynthia Preiser, involved.

Now, that seems like a huge consequence to me, and I'd like to know more about this aspect of the story.

Anybody care to speculate on the political affiliation of Cynthia Preiser?

I agree the bigger story is why was the DA (a political position) not informed, Someone had to have a lot of guts or gain to not notify the boss.

As for unsealing of sealed records in NY it is dificult to do except in the interest of Justice..

Here is a little info on the statute & cases:
