Note: since Assistant Legal Attaché Adam Rogalski told me on 2021-09-20 that he was “one of the FBI representatives,” I assume that this communication was transferred to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Dear Mr. Rogalski,
This unit should also be notified: MARKET INTEGRITY AND MAJOR FRAUDS UNIT
https://www.justice.gov/criminal-fraud/market-integrity-and-major-frauds-unit
“Working in parallel with regulatory partners at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and other federal agencies, the MIMF Unit has tackled some of the largest fraud schemes in the financial services industry, as well as consumer fraud cases […]”
It’s more or less what I told the FBI back in 2015 when I said both the SEC and the FBI could investigate working in parallel, I said:
00;15;47;00 - 00;16;08;00
Victim/whistle-blower: …the S.E.C. can investigate on this matter, but at the same time, the FBI can investigate too. Usually they coordinate the different task force together because the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations are being investigated by the FBI.

Here is a longer passage of the extract I just gave in this email:
00;15;14;10 - 00;15;22;24
FBI: I hear you sir. But I’m not hearing where the FBI would get involved in this. If it’s an S.E.C. violation, then you would report it to the S.E.C.
[Note: Respectfully, I think the FBI is mistaken: both the S.E.C. and the FBI can/should investigate.]
00;15;22;28 - 00;15;37;07
Victim/whistle-blower: I did so. I did report to the S.E.C. But at the same time, on top of there being… you know, when I filed the S.E.C., I filed the S.E.C. complaint on their website they have a whistle-blower website
00;15;37;16 - 00;15;46;22
FBI: Right
Victim/whistle-blower: and they have a section in which they talk about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act…
00;15;47;00 - 00;16;08;00
Victim/whistle-blower: …the S.E.C. can investigate on this matter, but at the same time, the FBI can investigate too. Usually they coordinate the different task force together because the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations are being investigated by the FBI.
00;16;08;22 - 00;16;27;03
Victim/whistle-blower: And right now, I’m accusing basically because I have notified the first the very first time I have notified directly Ms. Santona who is the general counsel of McDonald’s, it was in 2013 and in 2013…
00;16;27;03 - 00;16;39;18
Victim/whistle-blower: I’ve told her very clearly in writing, look, you know, I told her very clearly that I believed this French official had been corrupted one way or another.
00;16;39;27 - 00;16;50;09
Victim/whistle-blower: And there is… the due diligence wants that they should at least investigate and make sure that they are not committing a fraud in Europe,
00;16;51;05 - 00;17;12;12
Victim/whistle-blower: because if the U.S. office knowingly, if they knowingly know that they are committing fraud, in this case, it’s a violation, within the United States, of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Yes!
00;17;12;14 - 00;17;17;28
Victim/whistle-blower: Look, Madam, I can understand you perfectly. You will have cognitive biases too.
00;17;17;28 - 00;17;26;12
Victim/whistle-blower: You will think it’s McDonald’s… They must have a good reason… Most likely I am the one who is mistaken… But I’m telling you, I’m not mistaken here.
