It being a third-party investigator means they aren't "investigating themselves."

My point is that when you are the one ordering an investigation on yourself, usualyl the results are bound to be highly skewed towards what you want.

I've seen my government recently do this in a pretty big corruption case that would have made heads roll, as well as a couple other private entities I can think of who have hired "outside investigators" to investigate themselves only to go like what I said.

I'm obviously open to being proven wrong in this case, but the track record of such things isn't very positive.

Sorry I wasn't very clear, I just didn't want to make my comment too big.

Issue is they're trying to investigate something from more than two years ago. They're unlikely to find anything at all in the first place.

That's also very true, absolutely not gonna disagree there.

In any case, all we can do is speculate, we will see the end result when it eventually comes out. As long as this brings positive change to LMG as a whole, that'll be good.

I know it won't matter overall, but I won't see the change since I've unsubbed to everything LMG related myself (a long time coming, honestly) but I really do wish them all the best.
