This is a huge story because it also involves allegations of agents of using FBI databases . . . to track a grand jury investigation targeting the alleged scheme in exchange for cash.
My favorite story is the one that came out during the sentencing hearing for his mail fraud conviction (4 month sentence already served)..It concerned charity money donations during the Kosovo crisis. This guy is a real piece of work.
It could be coincidence.
It could be information gained through terrrorist network.
It could also be information gained from his FBI sources ...which leads right back to the current controversy on what did the FBI know and when did they know it. The FBI agent that was arrested was out of New Mexico. That may be in the same division as the Arizona branch.
