It isn't "credible" because you don't like that the Whistleblower reported it to their own agencies watchdog instead of another agency? I don't follow what that has to do with the article's credibility at all...

Per the article the “whistleblower” reported nothing at all to the authorities.

It isn't credible because the IRS IG has nothing to do with securities law and so they aren't the proper authorities. A simple read of their website shows it exclusively has to do with proper application of internal revenue code.

Fair enough. I don't put a lot of stock in the SEC anyway, a 'who watches the watchers' lack of ironclad faith in these regulatory agencies tends to afflict me. That said, all credit to them when they do enforce.
