And everyone just pretended all this was perfectly normal?

Ken Kaiser now subject to a criminal ethics violation action for this LocatePlus-related stuff: http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/09/former_boston_fbi_chief_faces_federal_ethics_charges

He was an FBI Assistant Director in DC, in charge of the criminal investigation division.

In 2009, he was hired away to work for tiny LP, at that time already the subject of FBI, SEC, IRS etc investigations for several years (the company didn't think it was worth worrying the market with any info about all that).

On joining he immediately started to meet with FBI agents, up until that time under his ultimate supervision, to try to influence the LP investigation and (apparently) sell stuff to them. A clear breach of statute carrying criminal penalties.

Why did he do it?? This really does call for more digging.

Case is 13-cr-10264 in MA fed dist court.
