Well said. I have known 3 to 4 people who have tried to drop a dime on identity fraud, wire fraud, drug trafficking, and firearms respectively over the years.
The only agency out of 3 agencies that followed up was the ATF and I'd guess because they aren't busy and don't do much besides sit there and process mundane paperwork.
re: identity fraud the FBI literally slammed the phone down on him, when he called back the agent said "no offense buddy but, FUCK OFF were busy" traumatizing the guy forever. someone had put a house under his name in some fraud scheme. he was like sir can't you trace an IP address? No we can't.
re: the drugs the ATF eventually took that over too
tldr; his advice was if you have to report anyone, hope firearms are involved somehow in the perpetrators life even if completely unrelated to the shit you are reporting. they are thirsty for any kind of action and will investigate anything as long as it appears some kind of gun law is being broken or the possibility of illegal possession, i wouldnt put it past elfsim being a priority for them.
