Q1; When did public corruption start?
  A1; Corruption was around for along time, but public corruption is a fresh thing. Public corruption started in June 2014.
Q2;How did the FBI find out?
  A2; It takes the best to handle such issues. The top criminal investigators are the FBI, they are the best at finding threats.
Q3; Why did the FBI co-opt with the investigation?
  A3; They were unwittingly betraying public trust. The public felt threatened by the national security interests overall.

3 qsts and answers lvl 2 by Adele:

1. who would corrupt with the criminals? Some policemen would corrupt with street gangs and that happened during the 1920s (  Al Capone's gang with some policemen during the prohibition) and it continues to happen today.
2. What would testing and active recruiting look like and the way it was done? According to the article Public Corruption, posted on the FBI's official website, "Testing: An offer of simple items, like prison commissary goods, is made to prison officials. If accepted, the inmate confirms the official’s administrative misstep, then urges the official to smuggle contraband under threat of reporting the official’s misconduct. Active recruiting: Civilian gang members with no prior criminal history are recruited by incarcerated gang members to apply to become correctional officers, with promises of additional income paid by the inmates’ criminal enterprise."
3. What will the government do about it? They first, identify prison facilities and make them go through serious investigations to fight the threat of cases like that and the impact it (corruption) has on the people/environment that it is surrounding.

" Why isn't he in jail?" "(Gatsby) They can't get him, old sport. He's a smart man." (112-118) this quote is one that shows how the corruption among larger criminals and ringleaders and the law forces went on back then as the quote shows that the police most likely have the necessary information and details to relate Wolfsheim to the rigging of the world cup and have most likely let him go despite knowing this while not being too happy about it. This shows that Wolfsheim has a powerful connection to higher ups in the government and law forces allowing him to get away with a massive crime.

possible questions: about the rigging of World Series, about his bootlegging business and interactions with any authority figures.

Interviewer: Mr. Wolfsheim, what are you best known for?
Wolfsheim: I'm proud to say that, ive fixed the World Series in 1919.
Interviewer: Pretty impressive, and how did you and Gatsby become friends? Tell me about that friendship.
Wolfsheim: We were first co-workers, i knew him through business and then we became friends and i helped him with gaining his wealth.
Interviewer: How did you help him?
W: We are both bootleggers. it's illegal but we always find our way out of it. I believe that we are two smart men who can do it and succeed.
Interviewer: Did any of you get help with this business from the government?
W: Yes it happened few times. We had few corruptions with some policemen and they got paid for it too or got some liquor bottles in exchange for help. 
Interviewer: These were very important info for us. Thank you for coming today and answering our questions. We know that you're a very busy man and don't do this a lot. Thank you again!
