I haven't seen the details here, but I've been laid off twice in the last two years, in both cases when "the employer provided COBRA" they meant they are paying my COBRA premiums. This showed up as a cheque, on top of my severance pay, for the expected cost of COBRA premiums plus an appropriate amount to pay for the taxes on that payout.

That's definitely a cynical way (that I would tend to lean towards agreeing with) to describe it.

The other spin would be "we discovered illegal activity through evidence that would be inadmissible in court, so we went ahead and focussed on gathering admissible evidence". Probably by looking in places they wouldn't have looked otherwise, but not by making anything up or breaking any laws.
