If the government wants you that badly, they will eventually get you. Whether it's through legitimate means because of their unlimited resources and investigative abilities, or through presenting trumped trial evidence to get you indicted and then a kangaroo court-styled conviction. Period!
You are exactly right look at Sonny Franzese they framed him.
Correct, they brought 5 serious cases against Sonny over the course of only several years time. He beat em all. So the FBI then trumped up a federal bank robbery case against him and coached a series of rats to testify falsely before a judge (Jacob Mishler) who was another pro-government proponent in league with the feds to hang him...and they did!
He got 2/25s, a total of 50 years for which he served almost 40 years in the can for, from 1970 forward (on the layaway plan as it turned out).
