I think I recall him deciding to actually handle one of the exchanges or trades himself, usually information for a market in some weird new tech and the guy gets pinned on some illegal service between a student in some University and his own girlfriend at the time.
When he decided to stop struggling against them and call them up they detained him to make sure he could arrange a more quiet service, in case he was using the 70s equal "reality" gimmick communists had going to fight the video game frenzy of the 70s and 80s pc games (women needed to help Mao "release" them).
When the reality dealing wasn't equal like it was then, even with his capture, they just forgot about him and they're using this gimmick to arrange a capture of someone equally notorious (so he arranges himself to work with that low life) but the guy, Marques, isn't really involved in any of it. Just might be something like the brains, a founder even (his name is what circulates but he may be a brand user so people follow and buy what he does, like pirate roberts), his actual crime is not under investigation. They are trying to get him to do some of his own counseling between them so they can take over it, but that's what's what. It isn't the FBI. It's the local PDs, local to Marques, and while most have convincingly removed themselves from the situation, so Marques should be released, the socialist republic running Ireland doesn't actually congratulate losers on their appeal, and his ex-girlfriend, some reporter somewhere, is attempting to use prostitution in court to single out the property rights of what is happening, intellectual property, so she can't be seen as guilty, but she is guilty so we have just to arrange her release and she'll turn herself in. He will then be released and the FCC and other regulatiry facilities will be asked to release a filing of his release and some funding for a Federal grant that would remove him from fault, for any double jeopardy scams coming further out of Ireland, but there aren't any PD coming out to release him since any arrest made was on them and so was all the paper work. Convincingly enough, he may still have his own journey in place and as a young man still he could live off the lamb the moment he's released, and he will be released, if he ever makes a start on something criminal they pretty much have him guaranteed a slot in the kingpin category and no one will look for him without a full Federal front. They accidentally made an attorney but they don"t really have to borrow his time, so he's essentially Franzese without any crime to him, and he can just afford to offer people help for now and he'll pay them back later.
When he can't arrange his release, the FBI may look to activism with a surge in what is probably vigilanteism and it isn't fun to say that any killing that occurs there will be on local drug dealers assuming his name so he remains kingpin.

This is probably why the surge in drug knowledge AGAINST cartel. There's a false judge/commissioner (he controls most of the phones, last time I was there, 3 weeks) in Compton courthouse, on floor 9 (Family Law and Civil Law) named Victor M Acevedo and he is literally known by like 90% of PD and all government agencies as a corrupt clerk that is planting himself in drugs to kingpin himself using Marques' wrongful imprisonment but no one can do anything about it because no one knows how to describe the situation without breaking laws and giving other cartel mark-up, as a punishment for overlooking it so long. It's a blank slate to Marques and just another way to point pistols at people on the street and get away with it for people like Acevedo (he has pointed his pistol, twice, at me, specifically, out of his white mini van on Rosecrans Ave. for not being willing to let him continue). No one likes him in the area and his kids, about 200 of them, are constantly the victims of physical retaliation and their realty is the target of many random shootings. So that they just learn to sit too.

Crime isn't fun.
