I actually tried that. It was legitimately fun! It also proved nothing to me. I am not a financial crimes expert, and I am not the kind of moron who thinks everything dug for is found. Just because I went proves nothing. What I learned by tracing money flows - the only real peculiarity is I found a non-farmer taking agriculture subsidies. I doubt there was anything illegal about that, and it didn’t involve large sums. What I learned is chiefly that I am not a financial crimes expert.
