"..arson experts piece back together what went on before the fire and can pinpoint exactly who did what."
You watch TV SHOWS that depict this happening, and you surmise this is how it works in real life?
Just out of curiosity, without fingerprints or DNA, how exactly do 'arson experts' (is this the official title? Do they introduce themselves as 'arson experts'? Wouldn't that be a bit misleading sometimes?) "piece back together" (whatever this means) WHAT went on before the fire, and how can they "pinpoint" (whatever this means in practical reality) "who did what"?
I am honestly curious - what evidence is there after a fire about Milton's deed, and that it was actually Milton, and what he did?
Unless he leaves a gas canister with his fingerprints on it, I don't really see how any 'arson experts' can 'piece together' anything or 'pinpoint' 'who did what'.
I thought this post was going to be about 'networks' and such, that even if you burn down a building, data will always remain offline in some cloud, server, or corporate network about the employees and money transfers and such.
But no, it's about some 'arson experts' finding Milton's ancestrial family tree from the ashes of the building.

It's funny you read the OP as talking about covering up the crime of arson but I thought he was referring to Peter's crime of stealing money (since Peter stated that all the evidence was probably taken care of by the fire). I always felt like since the funds were routed to an outside financial institution, it would've been relatively easy to figure out Peter was guilty. The whole reason this plan was supposed to work was that fractions of pennies disappearing over a lengthy period of time wouldn't be noticed. Once that decimal point was missed and it was noticed that this money was missing, it should've been easy to see where it was sent. And since Peter was checking the balance on an ATM which would be captured on camera, I can't imagine he would've gotten away with it. But I love this movie so much it was easy for me to overlook.

Back to the OPs post, their plan wasn't to burn down the building to destroy evidence, Milton set the building on fire. But anyway, yes, a fire wouldn't cover up their tracks. If the missing money was report to the police, and some digging was done, Peter & crew would be screwed.

Oh I know that wasn't their plan, but once it happened Peter seemed to think it covered their tracks. I thought the OP was referring to the fire covering up the embezzlement crime and not the crime of arson which some of the responses seem to indicate.
