I'm sometimes prone to notions that seem conspiratorial myself, but while this meme has been floating around for a few years I've not yet been able to find any actual case where this has been demonstrated to have happened.

Not to say that if it hasn't been proven it's impossible, but it's such a harsh accusation of massively destructive criminal fraud with potentially billions on the line that one would think that if such stories were true many - including the FBI - would be well motivated to corroborate.
