Introduction

This report is a brief summary of how a group of criminals set up their empire in a small town, and the extent that the law enforcement agencies had to go through, to help bring these guys to justice.

The narrative of this story is told from the first person-point of view, so that you will see this story from the eyes of some of the people who experienced these events.

Over 7,000 pages of court room documents, reports and interviews from the various law enforcement officers, the victims, and even a few of the criminals themselves, -- were used to compile this brief summary

Since this story is based on true events, the names of the victims, the undercover personnel, and the criminals have been changed to help protect the identities of everyone involved. Also, due to the serious nature of these incidents, and to help protect everyone involved, I have also decided to keep my name anonymous.

Dedication

I would like to publicly thank my family who stood by throughout all of the craziness of my life- I know that it has been an extremely wild ride.

I would also like to thank all of the men and women who proudly serve our country through the military, the fire fighters and the various law enforcement agencies.

This story is based on true events. The names of the victims, the undercover personnel, and the criminals have been changed to help protect the identities of everyone involved.

The Letter From The Director

To properly tell this story, I want to start at the end of this story.

In order to increase the interaction between the various federal law enforcement agencies and the local communities, the government created several regional inter-agency taskforces- and as a result, I was promoted to be the director of one of these taskforces.

The government has a custom of hosting a meet and greet luncheon for people who were being promoted. During the luncheon, the host would briefly introduce all of the people who were promoted, and after lunch there would be a quick reception line where the audience would shake the hands of the newly promoted.

At the reception where I was introduced as the new director, while we were standing in the meet and greet line, several people walked up to me and verbally recited their resume to me, and asked how they could become a member of our taskforce, and one man walked up to me and shook my hand, and then he leaned forward and spoke low enough so that only I could hear his voice and he told me, that he had some information which would be extremely beneficial to my new position. As I did with everyone else, I gave him a business card, thanked him, and then greeted the next person in line. When you meet a couple of hundred people, in about a fifteen minute timespan, there is no way that you can remember everyone or all of the stories they told you, so you go on with your new job- it is just business as usual.

In the law enforcement world, and probably every other profession, people often pretend that they are going to help you out, but usually end of just trying to kiss up to the new boss, or to make a name for themselves. Let’s be honest a big case can really help a person’s career or justify the need for further departmental funding.

When it comes to working on a large taskforce- which is like working on a committee at most work places- in the beginning everyone is on board, or wants to become a team member, usually so they can put this experience on their resume, and then they wait until the next committee comes along so they jump aboard that one- it is amazing how some people can ride the committee trains all of their career- and yet nothing ever seems to get done. Since the mission of my taskforce was to go to war with criminal organizations that set up camp within our region- we needed veteran officers who had a certain skill set, and previous experience with working with large criminal organizations- we were handing picking the dogs of war who would follow a small lead or piece of evidence to the ends of the earth. We needed a person who was focused on the big picture of the mission, and not anyone who was looking for another entry on their resume. For us, this eliminated all of the committee train riders.

A couple of weeks later, I received eight boxes which were filled with detailed information regarding a major case that had occurred a few years before. The boxes were filled with extremely well documented files of several hundred criminals and how they were tied to each other, what kind of business they conducted, where the conducted business, how they moved and hid their money, and even the
