      Just go to any health forum, find random usernames complaining about the company and call it as a tip. Not wrong, just dumb

      Yeah, but I’m in another country. If I called in tips from Canada that are false is that still illegal?

        Yes, the FBI would likely know that it’s coming from Canada and could get the RCMP involved.

        This is only discussing the legality and not the ethics of it though.

          Man why do Americas problems always have to be Canada’s problems too? Like why does the FBI have to be MY problem, that’s your guys mess. :(

            Cause the rich in every country want the gestapo to keep everyone in line everywhere, so they make sure the fascist enforcement arms can work together easily.

            In this case you should be blaming your politicians and the RCMP, not the FBI. The FBI can’t come to your country and do shit to you without your country’s permission.

            Remember that the rich do not have patriotism, or a sense of responsibility to society or their community. They are above all that. Until we bring them back down to earth. Or under it.

            Not passing moral judgment, but if you commit a crime in a country other than yours, that country’s authorities will be after you. For a change, this isn’t the US being the US

            Not discussing anything else, but you’re talking about inserting yourself into the FBI’s business, so of course they’re going to insert themselves into yours too.

      No, really. Don’t encourage people to commit stupid crimes that could send them to prison.

      I don’t know the legality of feeding them useless, but true tips. This is your own risk.

      I absolutely do know the legality of lying to the FBI. Don’t do this. Don’t encourage people to do this.
