But the corruption is like an avalanche. Once the earth underneath is moved, it snowballs downward, until the entire mountain falls.
And in regard to California’s Unemployment Insurance fraud the mountain is falling fast:

NEW YORK - The Manhattan District Attorney s Office has retained forensic accounting specialists to aid its criminal investigation of President Donald Trump and his business operations, as prosecutors ramp up their scrutiny of his company s real estate transactions, according to people familiar with the matter.
District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. opened the investigation in 2018 to examine alleged hush-money payments made to two women who, during Trump s first presidential campaign, claimed to have had affairs with him years earlier. The probe has since expanded, and now includes the Trump Organization s activities more broadly, said the people familiar with the matter. Vance s office has suggested in court filings that bank, tax and insurance fraud are areas of exploration.
