Agreed, BUT if criminal wrongdoing is discovered in the course of a civil suit, it can become a criminal trial.
Why do you think so many companies settle out of court? It's because they got caught, can't wiggle out, then WILL get convicted, so they bribe their way out.
I knew an accountant named Dave Bazzetta at Chrysler who was fired when he uncovered bribery by the Germans, so they fired him. He sued for wrongful dismissal, then the whole thing got settled out of court when it was discovered he had details and proof of bribery, which was the crux of his case: dutifully reporting a crime.
The Germans and Americans, esp the Americans, fearing a more serious situation, settled out of court for 50 years' worth of silence.
Curiously enough, there were other leaks by other people and the bribery wet forward after it was proved he didn't know about the OTHER bribery.
That's the good thing about some criminals, they commit more than one crime.
Who needs fiction when you got truth? lol
