Whoops.
In remarks stressing that the U.S. government had “absolutely nothing
to do with” the anti-Islam film that has touched off violence in the Middle
East, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yesterday sought to quash Arab
concerns that the “disgusting and reprehensible” movie was somehow
produced or condoned by American officials. However, Clinton’s attempt to
distance the U.S. from “Innocence of Muslims”–and, by extension, its
felonious producer–may be complicated by the revelation that Nakoula
Basseley Nakoula became a government informant after his 2009 arrest for
bank fraud, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Though many key documents from the U.S. District Court case remain
sealed, a June 2010 sentencing transcript provides an account of Nakoula’s
cooperation with federal investigators in Los Angeles (and how his prison
sentence was reduced as a result).
Nakoula, 55, was arrested in June 2009 for his role in a check-kiting
ring that stole nearly $800,000 from six financial institutions by using
stolen Social Security numbers and identities. Nakoula was named in a six-
count felony indictment accusing him and unnamed “co-schemers” of
perpetrating the bank fraud.
So if the feds hadn’t cut a deal with him he might still be in prison and
never would have made this.
