The FBI gets a complaint, and then the subject of the complaint shows up.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mr. Cromer:&lt;/strong&gt; \"We were kind of lucky in this case in that the subject actually contacted us the same day that we received our first complaint about him.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mr. Schiff: &lt;/strong&gt;That\u2019s William Cromer, FBI special agent in Atlanta.
