Two reasons: Investigations take time, and they want to be first in line for those lovely, big fat rewards. Second, an investigation might reveal that there is bullshit approaching and they might be forced to reconsider the investment. It's best not to ask the question if you might not like the answer.
If I was going to invest in something like that, I'd at least insist on some sack-time with Ms. Holmes for my trouble.
