Sure, but I think it's safe to assume the feds know about this one lol.

They just subpoena for whatever they want to know, it's not a new problem for them.

I just did a quick search to see what the DOJ's declination rate is and I couldn't find a definitive answer. Apparently they decline to prosecute about one third of the cases referred to them and I did see a story from ProPublica that said after Pam Bondi took over, they reprioritized towards immigration cases and dropped tens of thousands of other criminal cases.

Or maybe the AI companies already self-reported these violations? Last year the DOJ set up a policy to not prosecute a lot of crime if the company self-reports and perhaps this fits the criteria for that?
