Producer Of Anti-Islam Film Was Fed SnitchL.A. man began cooperating after 2009 fraud bust
SEPTEMBER 14—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.
Denied bail, Nakoula, a married father of three, was locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in L.A. when he began cooperating with Justice Department lawyers and federal agents. During a series of debriefing sessions, Nakoula provided investigators with a detailed account of the fraud operation and fingered the man who allegedly headed the operation, according to comments made by his lawyer at sentencing.

Movie making doesn't sound like a business he had ever been in before. Funny that now that he's a parolee and a FedMob informant he decides to make quirky films about ancient Arabs isn't it? Apparently the first of four versions of his film had nothing to do with Muhammad.
Did he dub that crap in or did someone else? Why can't anyone talk to him now?
I have read several articles that talk about 20 to 35 other people who were in the embassy compound that night and who were successfully rescued. Where are those people? Who rescued them? Why were the two top officials there the only ones killed? Seems like I also read something the day after the attack that talks about the “rescue mission” and how 2 more lives were lost, which I assume would have been the seals. Nothing about this makes common sense. Sure seems like this could have been a hostage attempt on the ambassador. Maybe with a rescue that went wrong. Would make sense if they wanted to trade Stevens for the Blind Sheik.
