Hi polcat2, my timeline is probably off, was a long time ago. He was always with the feds. Told me that he contracted offloading and would furnish 2-3 cigarette boats (manned by DEA), a couple of weeks later, "someone" would smell something funny at a warehouse. I know after the trial of his last bust, whether or not, it was this one, He and his family were relocated ala witness protection plan. At some point, maybe mid 80's, he emerged undercover again as a "cocaine cowboy" working out of Houston/Galveston. That's pretty much all I know about it.
