A lot of people complain to health authorities, regulators and the IRS only to exact revenge on their targets. Nothing is found but the targets go through economic and mental upheaval as the investigations drag on.

The complainers are protected by whistle blower laws even when it is obvious that they complained only for vengeance. They should be open to civil litigation.
