Ex-defendants who have cooperated with law enforcement and have served their sentences, are trying to monetized their experience by bringing drug dealers to U.S. agents—for a price, of course to be paid by the drug dealers. The quid pro quo though is that the drug dealers have to cooperate with the government. Some lawyers have begun this practice too. This unseemly practice has even extended to unindicted people on the OFAC list. People should know that being on the OFAC list does not necessarily mean that you are in danger of being indicted. In most cases it means that the government does not have the sufficient evidence to indict you criminally.
So why become an informant to get off OFAC? Why insinuate yourself into “Gringolandia” if you do not need to? Trust me, you won’t like it.
