so you give names of friends, family and employers. Especially with the former, you only give the ones who will back you up and say nice things. Unless something weird comes up, or is somehow revealed, it generally doesn't involve digging. You don't give them the name of the girl cousin who's ass you grabbed at the family reunion, you give them the name of the cousin you lent money to.

This new investigation will involve digging. It won't be pretty.
