I think that depends on the company. ORC groups at some companies are lean on manpower and highly effective.
It's also oversimplistic to look at ORC cases in terms of how "big" the "bust" was. If you shut down an active ring and recover $100,000 worth of merchandise, is that the extent of the bust? I would argue that if the investigation indicated that the ring was responsible for $50,000 in loss per month, by shutting them down even temporarily the ORC team has saved more than just what they recovered. By shutting down a mid-level fence you may also shut down boosters who have now lost their buyer.
I'm not saying this is the case in every company but there are many out there who run lean enough and operate effectively enough to significantly add value to the LP department.
