re: NEVER talk to the Feds..EVER....

Its a process crime. This is why you should never ever under any circumstances talk to law enforcement or the Feds without an attorney present. My brother nearly went to jail about 15 years ago because he spoke with the police. He tried to be as helpfull as he could, and then they turned around and arrested him. Cost him about 3 years of his life dealing with the court system. It also wrecked his dreams of joing the military. Law enforcement is not there to be your friend. Way too many people get fricked by the system because they think they are doing the right thing when it comes to giving statements.
