Honestly, I don't see how you could expect a better set of answers
given your approach. You're not a prosecutor, and you have no right to
interrogate him about whatever "improprieties" you and your supposedly
like-minded (but anonymous and uncounted) associates perceive. You're
also not a shareholder, an auditor, or in any other fashion entitled
to receive polite replies to snide implications of corruption.
