A U.S. federal narcotics agent known for his expensive tastes and high-profile drug seizures has been implicated in a multimillion-dollar money-laundering conspiracy that involved the very cartel criminals he was charged with fighting in Colombia.Why the surprise? This is the EXACT OPPOSITE of news. Everyone knows that DEA and FBI and ATF are crime factories. These agencies COMMIT CRIMES AND CREATE CRIMINALS. That's their ENTIRE SOLE SOLITARY UNIQUE PURPOSE. Everyone knows this. If a DEA or FBI or ATF agent ever FAILED to commit crimes, or even more bizarrely unimaginable, actually CAUGHT a criminal who wasn't first cultivated by the same agency, that would be news. Since that's PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, we don't really need to worry about it. The headline tells us why this agent had to be singled out for "news". Known for expensive tastes means he was susceptible to blackmail that could force him to leak inside info. Mobs punish snitches.
