There’s a huge network of financial controls to prevent and detect this sort of thing, it’s one of the foundations of the fields of accounting. Often there are departments looking for fraud regularly.

I suspect small or medium organizations rather then megacorps would be easier targets if they haven’t invested money in accounting controls.

A $5m covert negotiation with the USG has a decent chance of securing the desired payout.

Plenty, if not all, corporate level financial controls will be bypassed by the executive branch showing up in suits.
