This sentence is also mind bogglingly ambiguous:

> Please note that this notification was not delayed as a result of a law enforcement investigation.

Was there a law enforcement investigation or wasn't there? The sentence can either mean:

a) A law enforcement investigation happened, but it didn't delay the notification

b) It may or may not have been delayed, but a law enforcement investigation played no causal role in a delay - whether it had happened or not

c) A law enforcement investigation happened, and it delayed the notification, but not in the legal sense of a "late notification"
