From the article:
"Given the extraordinary way this case unfolded, a settlement of this magnitude leaving no trace in the files of the divisions typically responsible for it is yet another striking confirmation of the irregular, collusive process that produced an enormously corrupt result," CREW wrote.

If there is no trace, then there is no case, and there can be no transfer of funds. Problem solved. I was going to say "case settled", but there doesn't seem to be one. This is totally crazy crap, and some folks need to see time behind bars! Hell, give him an IOU from the Easter Bunny and call it good.
