alt Hacker NewsWhy would an AG care? This is a huge company stealing from poor people. The system is working as designed.
They would not be so brazen in doing this (in relative openness with every developer being in on it) if they thought an AG would actually care.
They do this because they correctly calculated that they have enough connections and/or bribes to preempt such an action.

The California AG in particular wouldn't pass up any opportunity to get his name and accomplishments in the press. I get a weekly newsletter from him extolling his recent successes.
All the time, I'm reading about companies brazenly doing illegal things.
We often see reports of state AGs taking actions against companies.
My guess is that bribes of state AG offices would be unusual. (Do you have better information about that?)
The questions on my mind would be how much resources an AG's office has to deal with corporate crime, and how a given crime would get triaged.
