This whole thing just seems off to me. LeRoux was the guy they wanted, he was the boss, the mastermind, the guy who ordered all the murders, set up the operations. It makes no sense why the Gov. would give him a deal to get all the guys
under him, when they already had the Kingpin in their custody! Normally cops work the lower level guys to get to the Kingpin. In this case they took a top down approach, which seems off to me.
Also, the sting operation on Hunter's crew is a classic example of entrapment. Lured by big money, and egged on by LeRoux, it looks like Hunter's crew was lead into this, and they went along with whatever LeRoux told them to do. It would be relatively easy to say these guys would not have ever done any of what their accused of without LeRoux's involvement.
Again, this seems completely backwards to me.
