Re: Well, no one ever said crooks had to be smart...
Apparently, you're the idiot here. Showing you cannot read the article or display any common sense.
It didn't take the FBI a month to track him. They monitored him for a month.
This is done to BUILD A CASE, and find all tracks which can be used.
They also want to ensure there isn't anything else he's doing.
If you just go in and bust someone immediately, there could be other criminal acts going on, like pulling money out of YOUR bank account.
..and the 7 people who gave you a thumbs up, are equally unprepared for life after age 21.
