While Investigating an Alleged Conflict of Interest Scheme, Green, an Internal

While investigating an alleged conflict of interest scheme, Green, an internal investigator, is contacted by the ex-wife of Brown, the primary suspect. After calling her ex-husband some unsavory names and telling Green that Brown hasn't paid a dime of his court-ordered alimony, the jilted former spouse informs Green that she has some dirt on Brown. She tells Green that she'd be more than happy to spill the beans about Brown's misdeeds if Green can ensure that she receives half of any money recovered as a result of the investigation. Because Brown's ex-wife is clearly seeking a financial reward for supplying information, Green should discontinue speaking with her and should not rely on any information she provides.
