Or rather, how the feds took down FIFA once they spared a second to give a fuck, and even then it was just simpler to do away with all the newfangled investigative wiretap powers and that stuff, pretend its 1900 and give someone a sweet deal for telling them the story.
Remember the Garcia report in 2012 was forced on the FIFA as a result of many many years of grassroots investigative journalism and activism, when the FBI or any other law enforcement body simply didn't bother.
To be fair, the feds got where European authorities long failed to go. In Europe, everyone knew FIFA was rotten at least since the Havelange years, but there was no real attempt at taking down the Blatter mafia from any country.
