Maybe the folks that could formally "out" these folks feel the same way as old folks that fall victim to con-men...

People are afraid of looking stupid for falling for a scam. It's easier to silently break ties or ignore the fraud than it is to "go public" and declare to everyone that you have been suckered.

...maybe that is why it is so hard to get an organization to publicly boot someone into the street.
