“On January 6, 2010, Mr. Keough attempted to extort over $500,000 from iNetGlobal,” Kallenbach argued in a brief. “He demanded payment of the money by 5:00 p.m. that day or all bets are off. According to the Secret Service’s affidavit, Keough contacted the government in this matter for the first time on January 8, 2010.”
“Keough appeared on the company’s website as of January 5, 2010 stating that he intended to recruit new customers from all around the world,” Hopeman asserted. “These are not the same words that Keough spoke to the agents days later when he claimed that the entire business was fraudulent. The agents knew this fact because it is posted on the website, which they studied. This fact if included in the affidavit would have cast substantial doubt on the credibility of the informant, who provided the principal basis for probable cause.”
