Warnings against the use of investigators who tout their ability to find an adversary’s private documents generally emphasize the risk of illegal activity and attorney discipline, but a string of recent cases shows an additional danger — investigators might be fabricating records altogether, says Brian Asher at Asher Research.

We will need to work with both Senator's Schumer and Gillibrand forward.
It seems the NYPD should not be under the current Mayor given fraud, kleptocracy and crimes against the United States of America.
Meanwhile, there are several FOIL requests the NYPD is ignoring such as for body camera and 911 call transcripts.
It is difficult to trust the NYPD under the current Mayor.
xNY.io - Bank.org asks the NYPD to seek the Mayor's immediate resignation given lack of insurance.
Please respond with proof of NYPD D&O coverage immediately. Failure to provide proof of NYPD D&O insurance information will put the NYPD in jeopardy of insolvency.
Thank you,

Dear Honorable Senator Schumer:
Tonight, xNY.io - Bank.org seeks to make history with the current Senator Majority Leader.
Senator Schumer, the Mayor of New York City did not voluntarily and timely self-disclose to xNY.io - Bank.org the conduct described in the NYCCoin Statement of Facts below.
We summarize Mayor Adams' conduct as potential conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States of America.
Senator, it appears the City of New York has committed to continuing to enhance its compliance programs and internal controls, including ensuring that its compliance programs satisfy the minimum elements to combat public corruption.
Mr. Schumer, we have reason to believe that Mr. Adams is involved in a conspiracy to commit crimes against the United States of America (for example, with NYCCOIN).
xNY.io - Bank.org aims to learn if your office is an appropriate, outside party acting on behalf of New York State in foreign jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, being an agent and/or intermediary consultant, representative, distributor, teaming partner, contractor supplier, and/or joint venture partner (collectively, “agent and/or business partners”) to Eric Adams' administration.
Senator, xNY.io - Bank.org seeks to learn if your office received NYCCoin related:
a. gifts; b. hospitality, entertainment, and leisure; c. customer travel; d. political contributions; e. charitable donations and sponsorships; f. facilitation payments; and g. solicitation and extortion
Related to items e,f,g I am personally interested in learning your involvement.
Warm regards,
Gunnar -- Gunnar Larson xNY.io - Bank.org 917-580-8053
