Bro, I’m Going Rogue’: The Wall Street Informant Who Double-Crossed the FBI

Guy Gentile flipped, and flipped again.

On the night he cut a deal with the FBI, Guy Gentile was on his way to a Connecticut casino for his cousin’s bachelor party. He’d jetted up from the Bahamas, where he was running an online stock brokerage that cleared a million dollars a year without much effort on his part. Then 36, he was a working-class kid who’d finagled his way into the dicier edges of finance, and he dressed the part, with neatly trimmed stubble, designer jeans, a silver Rolex, and sunglasses that hung from the collar of his tight T-shirt, just below a few tufts of chest hair.

My friend posted this story on FB a few days ago, I was wondering if som1 was going to post here.

That "bro I'm going rogue" is from some rap song which he was involved. LOL.

Pretty bad of the FBI to crack a deal and then go back on it. Although I don't care to much, I couldn't care for people ripping other people's life savings off them. The story with the other lawyer was interesting, always interesting hearing how they bust people.

I thought the story explained it well. They were trying to screw him although they made a deal.

So many things wrong here:

First how can the FBI throw him into jail without letting him contact his lawyer and without a trial? This is America, no? This sounds lot like countries like Russia and China. LOL

Second, how can an FBI undercover agents by financier? Isn't that entrapment? The FBI agents were clearly helping those crooks to commit frauds and the lawyers would be happy to challenge the conviction on that ground or do those crooks not get a trial either?

The U.S.A has by far the highest %per capita of people in prisons. Post 911 under the Patriot act you can be held for life in prison with no court trial & never have access to a lawyer. You do not always get a phone call or access to a lawyer when arrested as it appears on T.V. shows.

I got stopped in a border town in Texas at 17 and thrown into their max security jail. The charge was vagrancy despite having my drivers license and being in car. I was pulverized my first night in there by a drunk biker twice my size since they locked me alone in a cell with him. My clothes were soaked in blood - than they moved me to solitary - a cold/dark/no clothes/sleep on the cement floor/no blanket & one horrible meal a day. Every few days they took me to a room with 2 detectives that had a big list of unsolved crimes and told me I would get out immediately for admitting/signing any open case - did not matter which one, they said I would go to court in a few months and would only get probation since I had no prior record. They had a big bag of Mc Donald's food they would also give me for signing. This went on for 45 days - than on day #46 I got my first phone call and was released a few hours later with the vagrancy charge dropped. I am a white guy from good home in Texas - people of color and from out of state would have it a lot worse. Solitary will make you go insane inside of 3 days - I did 45 days

COUNTRY- AMOUNT PER CAPITA IN PRISONS
1 United States 715 per 100,000 people
2 Russia 584 per 100,000 people
3 Belarus 554 per 100,000 people
4 Palau 523 per 100,000 people
