Creditors nearing agreement to seize Snowden vetter Altegrity

"After conducting an initial background check of a candidate for employment, USIS was required to perform a second review to make sure no important details had been missed. From 2008 through 2011, USIS allegedly skipped this second review in up to 50 percent of the cases. But it conveyed to federal officials that these reviews had, in fact, been performed."[0]

Other than the obvious-- Snowden turned out to do what he did, Altegrity allegedly made other mistakes, which the submitted article didn't mention.
