They further reported Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins confirmed the federal investigation, claiming the entire project could be at risk of coming to a complete halt. Supposedly, the federal investigation is being spearheaded by the US Attorneys’ Offices.
Chicago Inspector General Deborah Witzburg was reportedly running the city’s investigation.
The article concluded by saying that a Bally’s spokesperson said the company was not aware of any active investigations. Really? That was reported in December. Are they still not aware?

Did the media also forget about that? Ask Chicago Inspector General Deborah Witzburg if she has forgotten about that. Not hardly.
