“If you get one of these calls and someone says to you, ‘Look, you’ve got to do this right away,'” says Nessel. Say you know what? I’m going to look into that, but first, I am going to call the Department of the Attorney General and ask some questions about it. Nine times out of ten, you’re going to hear a click.”
