Best part of the article:

"Goel’s scheme was uncovered in an in-depth investigation by reporter Allie Conti in 2019, who detangled the plot after being double-booked at one of his properties in Chicago and receiving a suspicious last-minute cancellation. Conti was contacted by the FBI days after the article was published."

I wish there was more of this. Good investigative journalism has been one of the most powerful weapons in justice, and I fear it's diminishing rapidly.

We really need some vetting on the 'sources' posted here. Lemmy is voting up stories based on headlines from BS links.

Yes, it's clear Google search is broken. Even searching for things you know exist may not show up in the search results no matter how specific you are.
