Why did you post a link to a site which stole the content, stripped the author's name, mangled the text by repeating some of it twice, and omitted an extremely interesting video?

Moderators, please update the link so it points to the original source:

Presumably the duplication of the pull quotes and lack of the video comes from copy & pasting from the original web page (for whatever reason).

If you're curious (and not that it matters for his story), the author, Michael G. Santos, initially received a 45 year sentence for 'a scheme to distribute cocaine':

Thank you, came here to ask who the author was and why their name wasn't included.
