[Ready Player One] Why wouldn't Wade call the cops?

So, Wade gets holo invited to IOI to get a job offer but declines.  Next Nolan Sorrento bombs the living shit out of his apartments in an attempt to murder him but fails.  He DID however murder Wades aunt and her dill hole boyfriend and I assume some poor bastards just living there.  After that, he gets "recruted" by the resistance.  Why isn't his first move to report the murder of his aunt and the other caught in the bombing?  At the end of the movie the cops arrest Sorrento just like any cop of today would for, I assume, a number of charges.  You would think murder would be a huge ace in the hole for Wade to shit all over IOI.  Can anyone explain this within believability?  It pretty much killed the movie for me.

First off, calling the cops would result in him being placed in "protective custody", guaranteeing first and foremost that he would have been taken entirely out of the running to find the last key, and also likely guaranteeing that he'd either be captured or outright killed by a dirty cop. Look at the world he lives in: money rules more than ever. He'd be fucked.

Also, he has no actual proof that the bombing was Sorrento's work, whereas in the climax Sorrento was caught with a gun openly threatening Wade after participating in a highly dangerous chase that was likely caught on multiple traffic cams and seen by many bystanders. That alone is enough to set the ball rolling on a proper investigation.
