Her message, she said, is relatively simple: Concerned citizens should contact their elected representatives and voice their concern about financial wrongdoing and efforts to address that conduct by prosecutors and regulatory agencies. "I'm hoping if there's enough public pressure, the details of what happened will come out," said Fleischmann.
