FBI informant may have slayed 50 victims before feds discovered masterful manipulation
NY Post ^ | September 28, 2025 | Peter D'Abrosca

A former FBI agent says a serial killer who doubled as an FBI informant for years manipulated agents into believing he was helping them, all the while preying on unsuspecting victims.

Scott Kimball will likely spend the rest of his life in a federal prison in Colorado after he was sentenced to 70 years in 2009. He pleaded guilty to killing four people between 2003 and 2004, and his number of victims could be much higher, according to former FBI Special Agent Jonny Grusing.

“He made a game out of tricking the FBI,” Grusing told Fox News Digital, adding that Kimball’s case was unprecedented. “As long as he won the game in front of him, that’s all that mattered.”

“To have someone who enjoyed manipulating us, putting stuff in our files, and then making people disappear was beyond anything I’d seen,” Grusing said.

Kimball, now 58, was a known serial fraudster who spent time in and out of prison during his youth and early adulthood. In the 1990s, he practiced working the criminal justice system, becoming an informant for local police and blaming his own crimes on cellmates.

It is probably much higher than 50. Since the FBI took a shine to him. If the FBI to want you working for them, you have to be evil through and through.

Not the only Law enforcement agency to do this. Of course we see many on TV.

The Chicago assassins of both Cong Ben Lewis and Miguel DelValle, candidate for alderman, worked for Chicago Police who worked for Tom Keane, 2d most powerful man in Chicago.

“He made a game out of tricking the FBI,”

Doesn't seem hard to do.

Shouldn’t the word used be slain? Slayed sounds weird.

FBI is Keystone Cops.

Kimball probably told the FBI all the murders were committed by a one-armed man.

FBI: “Yeah, that sounds familiar.”

Details only the killer could know. I would be hard put to find anyone guilty on the testimony of a cellmate. Even if the cellmate had been locked up when the crime was committed, corrupt cops could feed him details.

He’s not the only killer the FBi has coddled either.

Director Patel, shut this part of the FBI down, shut it down .

The FBi has a long history of perpetuating crimes,, aiding and abetting criminals such as this case here.
