No-one did much to disguise the fact that for all that he cheered up a dreary Presidential campaign no end, Ross Perot is not the kind of man you want operating in your enemy’s camp, and now the US Federal Bureau of Investigation office in Dallas is probing allegations against workers for Perot’s campaign according to the Dallas Morning News: the newspaper said the allegations were that workers conducted background checks on campaign volunteers by breaking into computer systems of companies that issue credit reports, and quotes former Perot state campaign co-ordinators and officials at an Atlanta credit reporting company as saying that stolen security codes were used to obtain credit files of campaign workers; two campaign workers told the paper they had been contacted by the FBI and asked to provide more information on the allegations, and said the Secret Service and Federal Trade Commission were also probing the allegations.
