Plots within plots. Telling him we hacked the AlShamal Islamic Bank in Sudan tells him that there aren't many banks where he can hide. This may cause him to start moving it around, looking for safer havens. It's much easier to spot when it moves.

Keep them pointed in the right direction. :)
Brilliant.

The simple answer is "yes".
The FBI does not exceed its Constitutional authority in accepting evidence -- whether it was gained by illegal means or not.
For reference, consider that Linda Tripp's recordings constituted perfectly good evidence even though they may have been collected illegally.
