In cases like this - a sting operation involving international wire transfers and the like, its the US Attorney's office running the show, not the local FBI field office.
In effect, the failure to effect timely arrest is ERIC HOLDER's fault, no one else.

The more incidents with Holder's unique fingerprints upon them like this one, the more distrust citizens have of the entire administration and its team of what seem to be people unable to perform their jobs who should be terminated and replaced. Understanding how businesses are run and demanding that those who work for them perform professionally and adeptly is something clearly lacking here. Greased palms, repaying old acquaintances and bartering for jobs, agendas and special deals equate to a Chicago mentality out of place elsewhere.
