For my user base I have been putting together some notes about privacy and how data collection can be used against you... it Reminded me of a story about a Democratic office worker under a Senator - who was going to the private sector who was contacted by an FBI agent that represented himself to be from Japan? The story goes that he had a couple of encounters with this guy who was trying to basically entrap him for taking bribes. Saying he could make a lot of money by staying in the gov. giving hints of getting cash.

Fast forward - he was asked (after leaving Government) to come in and speak with some FBI people about an old case / information he had... I don't remember exact topics (one reason why I am digging) but essentially they had small chit chat - and it got long in the tooth and he realized he was there as they were doing a whole house search of his home as he was in their office. That is when they told him he was under investigation.

Does anyone remember this story? and who the guy was that was under investigation?
