Lying to the FBI is a serious crime. There’s no way the corporate counsel from Amazon would just allow some “bad faith” calculations to be used to give a false story to the FBI.

Generally, these criminal cases involve multiple employees at the company. The story doesn’t say who else was arrested as part of the investigation or what their outcome was. The FBI can prefer to target the people at the center of a crime.

It has happened. Repeatedly. Sometimes at the FBI’s instigation: look at the E911 memo stuff, where FBI pushed AT&T to count the cash value of any computer accessed as damage!

You don't have to lie for a bad faith argument.

> Two officers arrived and located the suspect, a male believed to be in his 40s, in his car. He was order to step from his car. After he got out, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance. He was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center by ambulance where he died a short time later.

The above is part of the original police report of George Floyd's death. I would say it was made in bad faith, but there is little there that is an outright lie.

Funny thing is, the FBI lying to you is not only legal, it's par for the course.

The case I'm referring to didn't involve Amazon.
