This is partly true, but the real reason is that they were sure that there would never be a forensic audit. Why do you think they are expending all their assets on stopping / derailing forensic audits? They know they will get exposed. They know everything is not properly cleaned up.
This whole thing about deleted file, recovered file etc is just the auditors playing cat and mouse with them. I think they have already collected far more incriminating evidence, and this is probably just something to keep the [DS] focused on.

You're right on that. Petty tyrants always get cocky.
