For some reason, the news is treading very lightly on the human organ trading part of this deal. The FBI is embarrassed because they were told SEVEN YEARS AGO this was going on by Nancy Scheper-Hughes, an anthropologist from the University of California, Berkeley. She provided the FBI with the ring leader's address and phone number and the FBI did NOTHING. In contrast, law enforcement in S. Africa and Brazil took the info and acted on it immediately. In seven years there have been countless transactions, many conducted down the barrel of a gun - and there's only been one indictment. Back in 2004, the US State Department dismissed the charges as "urban legend." "It would be impossible to conceal a clandestine organ trafficking ring." The charges are corruption and money laundering - with one big twist. One of the indicted is charged with offering a kidney for sale to an informant. What the TV news is NOT reporting is: 1. The FBI was advised of this organ traffciking ring SEVEN YEARS AGO by a totally credible source (a university professor) and it's MUCH larger than a single potential transaction. 2. Law enforcement in Brazil and South Africa acted immediately on the information and went after the criminals. 3. This was not just organ dealing. It was organ stealing. Impoverished people were flown in and told if they didn't go through with the deal, they'd be shot. Some had no idea the details of what they'd agreed to. Organs were "bought" for $10,000 and re-sold for $150,000 and more. It took the FBI SEVEN YEARS to get themselves in gear and get an indictment. Source: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/676.html
