Presumably their deal with FGIS for the criminal investigation is on the same level as their deal with PwC.
But I have a bad feeling about how this affair wil end. Sunlot already made a deal with the major claimants who were suing MtGOX in the US (and who claimed to have evidence of wrongdoings) to retire their lawsuit. Some big-time criminals will probably walk out of this, free and rich...
The crooks look so determined, and the bitcoiners so naive, greedy, and lame...
You almost had me, till I figure out why such verbiage was used to inject Louis Freeh's namesake in Sunlot's quest.

Were going to see new combinations of video games and old-fashioned board games and gambling, panelists said in The Accelerated Evolution of Gaming Think Tank.
Video games are a $50 billion-a-year industry, said entrepreneur Brock Pierce, a pioneer in marketing virtual goods in online games. Meanwhile, the traditional gaming industrygamblingbrings in $700 billion per year. In a casino today, you see slot machines that look a lot like video games, Pierce said. And that overlap will continue as cash-strapped federal and state governments liberalize U.S. gaming laws in search of tax revenues.
Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, agreed: Gaming gaming is an ascendant market of massive proportions. Once you give people the ability to play a slot machine a few times before they go to bed, on their credit card, they will do it.

Note: "it planned to tap". Sunlot also mentioned PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC) as a firm that might do the audit. But their PR admits (and it is in their writings, apparently) that they have no agreement with PwC yet. They plan to "tap" PwC after the takeover is approved, but if PwC does not accept their terms and price, then Sunlot is free to do whatever it pleases about the audit, and the clients who agreed to the takeover will be allowed to sit and wait.Quote

In the filing, [ Sunlot ] listed Freeh Group International Solutions, a firm established by former FBI director Louis Freeh that has carried out a series of investigations into high-profile scandals, among a team of advisers it planned to tap for Mt. Gox.
