I think these guys are going to get arrested, it would be interesting
to leave the soft impression that Aaron is the one thatgot them, and
that without Aaron the Feds would have never been able to get out of
their own way. So, position Aaron as a hero to the public. At this
point they are going to get arrested anyway. But, Aaron has some
concerns on how that might affect commerical business (although I'm
not clear on why yet)
