In society, a fundamental problem is the tradeoff between effort spent and information gained.
I could imagine a cursory “audit” that would catch blatant badness, while anything more subtle could take (for instance) experienced lawyers, forensic accountants, and other experts.
Not to mention, the access they’d need to these figures’ businesses, organizations, relationships, communications… potentially anything and everything.
Most people wouldn’t give such access, but I think you’re right that with the unusual situation (1-2 people being a key nexus for funding/influence, inside a movement that tries to be more self-correcting than most), it makes more sense here.
