Perhaps he was found out and recruited? Thinly plausible.

This thought has occurred to me too. The fact that we KNOW government agencies use multiple honeypots, and wasn't there a story about there being a type of audit of these cp trap websites and ended up being like 3x more sites than there should have been? Thus bringing up the questions of who is taking it upon themselves to gather cp, construct a cp website and not mention it to their higher-ups or neglect to technically register it properly with the branch or division they work for. i.e.; most likely for their own personal pleasure ...or even business? idk if they could get away with that but who's to say?

I mean, if any of the honeypot sites are pay sites, what is that digital money transaction considered? Surely evidence, but it isn't like a bag of money with a $ on the side, and it isn't piles of stacked 100's, all sitting in the Evidence Room on a special shelf!

Ok, sorry for writing a bad, short novel here again but I do that sometimes, especially when I feel strongly about the subject and this subject is...something that is haunting me.

Anyway, I agree with your idea here. It's plausible as well as possible that when someone is observed over time that once they get busted the CIA or FBI 'offer' a deal of "you can go to fuck-me-in-the-ass-prison, OR you work for us now".

Happens with hackers now and then, don't see why it wouldn't apply here too.
