Especially when the case relates to intellectual property, they have no special position in the society, and the crime may not be a crime but a civil case.
Of course it doesn't. That's the job of the FBI and legal system to determine.
How so? Anybody can contact the FBI.
And when that "someone" happens to be a massive, multi-billion dollar bank reporting a "crime", then I sure hope that they have the FBI's ears.
