Perhaps I'm biased, but "hired an external investigator and would take corrective action based on the findings" translates to "distract folk until the spotlight is off us, so we can then sweep the problem under the rug and go back to business as normal."
No, dude. An outside investigator may very well hand their findings right back to LTT management, who promptly bury the findings and make a generic statement of "We've received the findings, have taken them to heart, and will be making internal changes accordingly."

What could they do that is better than have someone outside investigate them?
Have a third party investigate and independently release the findings to the public.
Dude that’s what an outside investigator is
