The Feds Made A Big Mistake

When the federal government dropped money laundering charges against Stan "Pampy" Barre, that was the biggest mistake they could have ever made. They would have made out better if they dropped the mail fraud charge in lieu of the money laundering charge.

As a result of this blunder, they will never be able to pursue charges against his relatives who bragged about having a hand in his money laundering schemes. Since Mr. Barre is now a government informant, he has no incentive to discuss how those individuals laundered the ill gotten gains that he stole, from the City, for decades.
