So your theory is that after Tyler's initial complaint, the regulators waited for a year, and then leaked the anonymous complaint to WSJ, which randomly contacted a bunch of employees, including the original anonymous tipper?


Alternatively, another employee tipped off the WSJ (Instead of, or in addition to a regulator,) and the WSJ started contacting current, and former employees, to see if their story had any legs.


WSJ has its own tipsters, the reporter in question was interviewed by Jason Calacanis a while back
