How A Typo About The New Jersey Corruption Probe Went ViralIt’s hard to tell who first got this wrong, but several news outlets reported that a non-profit called “BCG” was used to launder some of the money involved in these major arrests. Try as I might, though, I couldn’t find any such non-profit.
And the news reports, though quite similar in their wording, offered no more information:
Where else did this run? It’s hard to say, since Google News doesn’t offer great search for finding a specific term in a range of news articles.
But this BCG just didn’t seem to exist. And what FBI source was being used here? Since it appeared the FBI was speaking to multiple outlets, was there someone I could get on the phone.
Actually, it turns out, the relevant information was just within the criminal complaint. But it wasn’t “BCG” that was written about there.
