I think the media is quite silly to take the word if one unknown/unnamed informant. For all we know it was some low level associate in Cicero who had no clue the structure. Not to mention if he felt abandoned, it probably means the guy was shelved for one reason or another.
To be fair, the media reported what was in a fed affidavit and was pretty dismissive of that particular source's claim.
It was Johnson who didn't read the news article all the way through.
