CLUE ONE: Al Chalem was an FBI informant for about 18 months and had a recording device on him when 10 bullets were pumped into his body in his New Jersey home.
CLUE TWO: Nothing was stolen during the crime except the recording device. Al still had his wallet in his pocket and his jewelery when his body was found.
CLUE THREE: Al was quite busy trying to find unregistered shares of Enron stock in late 1998 and 1999 for an off-shore purchase by a "big politician"
CLUE FOUR: A Fort Lauderdale lawyer named Stephen J. Finta fed the Russian mob a flase tip that Chalem was on a federal witness list against them in RICO charges that were "imminent". Finta himself was a long-time FBI informant and drug smuggling partner of a corrupt FBI Agent named Terry Nelson.
CLUE FIVE: Writer Gary Weiss often is paid by the feds to write articles for them
CLUE SIX: Edward Manfredonia has a reputation on the street of being a bit zealous but always honest.
CLUE SEVEN: A DEA Agent was determined to arrest Finta and Chalem related to drug monies laundered through a Florida company called American Financial Group, but later said that his hopes of convicting Finta collapsed with the WTC7 building on 9/11/2001
