Federal prosecutors are investigating USA Swimming, including allegations it stifled sexual-abuse claims, people familiar with the matter say

Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating USA Swimming, including allegations that the organization stifled athlete sexual-abuse claims, concealed its assets and improperly reaped hundreds of thousands of dollars in rebates from its in-house insurance company, people familiar with the matter said.

Over the past year, a federal grand jury in Manhattan has heard evidence in the investigation, which is being led by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This sounds like a mutant version of the tragic USA Gymnastics saga, this one having some additional breaches of fiduciary ethics/responsibility in addition to the sexual abuse. It makes me wonder which sport & its governing agency is next to get investigated? Any guesses?

As the parent of a swimmer who pays fees to this organization, this is doubly shocking and awful.
