What if you don't want to maximize recovery?
Well that would be terrible! People all over would be furious!
(As, perhaps, they should be.)
Again, it's pretty rough on the victims to tell them we won't bother trying to get the money they're owed. Sometimes you have no choice; I would be shocked if the healthcare company mentioned in the source link were still operating, since it doesn't sound like it was actually doing much beyond the Medicare fraud. But when you do have a choice, what does anyone have to gain from blowing it up?
Do you genuinely just not like businesses?
