The email message was clear evidence that Neill had been working with the FBI. I wasn’t surprised; after all, I had drawn first blood and gone after him, so maybe I deserved it. I had enjoyed our conversations and picking his brain; it was disappointing to learn that he had just been playing along in the hope that he might be able to help the Feds nail me. Even though I had always exercised precautions when calling him, I decided it would be best to cut off all contact, to avoid giving the FBI any more leads.
