He has a lot of motive. The bigger the names, the better they let you off. If you claim you really were involved in something, they might give you a reduced sentence. It is no different in any Federal case. They do not want small people, they want the big fish. And if you can claim that your illegal dealings involved the biggest of names, the better. Just like the IRS does not go after people that owe a $100 on their taxes. But if you owe thousands and blatantly are avoiding filing, they go after you.

Peace
