    Call the FBI and tell them that for your safety you wish to remain anonymous. Say this before you give them any information and ask them if they can keep your identity safe

    DIFFICULT BUT ACHIEVABLE

    If you want any agency to do anything about it

    you would need to provide evidence that proves

    that there is ongoing criminal activity.

    This usually involves a paper trail such as receipts,

    wire transfers, bank statements, fake filings, etc.

    If you can furnish a good chunk of such material

    anonymously to the FBI or other agency through

    the mail they may actually investigate it.

    But usually an agency would want a person to

    accompany such evidence so that the person can

    provide more info and substantiate how the info

    was obtained and show that it is real.

    You can try establishing phone communication

    and giving yourself a code name and agreeing

    to provide more evidence upon request while

    refusing to meet in person. If the material you

    offer is good enough you may be allowed to

    proceed in this manner.
