      Not sure what you’re talking about with the CIA plant stuff. But it looks like he did his time and reformed after smuggling aliens. Good for him.

        The CIA plant is more of a feeling tbh, given his background and current doings. Probably uncalled for. But people who are capable of doing what he did usually don’t reform… It’s hard to go from seeing human beings as tools for your enrichment to actual human beings.

        I’m old because I don’t support human traffickers? Dude literally ran an operation to bring underprivileged workers to the US from poor countries to be exploited by US companies. All while doing the whole “keep your passport safe” bullshit. Literal human trafficking.

          He worked for the people who ran it. When people frame him as a human trafficker they’re falsely creating this image of a man who kept people in cages and shipped them over international boundaries but if you read the court documents it was nothing like that.
