as someone has already pointed out, such an arraingment would open one's
self up to liable, as a specific person is making the statement, as opposed
to the imca if it were ever incorporated.

if the imca is going to allow / force individual members to put their neck
out in exposing fruad / possible fraud, then there really isnt much point
for the group to exist, at least not if the type of efforts the list is
talking about are to be actually followed through on..
