Most people don't like reading about snitching have their reasons.

I can careless about snitching never cared about snitching until someone I knew was set-up.

This may not affect your life like it affect others.

The Smoking Gun continues its efforts to discredit rappers' reputations. In an article posted on the site today, TSG revealed that hulking Grand Hustle recording artist, Alfamega, was a former informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and a government witness.

According to the site, the Grand Hustle Muscle, copped a deal with the government in order to shorten his 1995 jail bid in on federal gun charges. TSG obtained legal documents showing that the Atlanta rapper, born Cedric Zellars, testified against a known heroin dealer as well as several other criminals to have 18 months subtracted from his 110 month sentence.

As of press time Mega has not responded to the TSG report.

Alfamega was recently in the news after he was arrested for getting into a fight with Shawty Lo's camp during last year's Dirty Awards in November. Having to be restrained by several police officers, he was eventually escorted out of the event handcuffed and pepper-sprayed.

The Bankhead rep's long -delayed Atlantic debut I Am Alfamega, has yet to be hit the shelves. - Elan Mancini


If he was facing 110 months, I'm not that young snitching on one person don't get you off the hook facing that many months that's just who he had to testified against. If somebody get set-up by a snitch when that person take a plea than the government informant don't have to to testify. One person got him off. Go ahead and make him a living L. a ghetteo celebrity.

People want to know how this kid is still breathing? Easy this ant no movie, people don't kill snitches in this day and age they make them ghetto celebrities.

If your chararcter is a life time criminal and that's your life style and your image to the communtiy than that's your life. So when you get arrested don't act like at that moment your trying to change your life or get out the game, at that moment your doing nothing but thinking about saving your own ass and if you hadn't been arrested you would still be a criminal today some of ya"ll become better criminals after ya"ll become snitches. Now, I can see after you been in prison & after that you want to change your life, that's wuz-up. Or one day you have kids, or just plan decide not to want to take a risk and be in the game, that's cool. But not right after you get arrested, than you decide to change your life and start snitch'en knowing if you would have never got arrested you would still be in the game & most of ya'll still hustle & be stiitch'en at the same time acting like ya"ll heavy in the game with the police & DEA on ya"ll payroll.

Think about this, your not a criminal you just have a nice operation making a couple of extra dollars on top of the check you may be gett'en from a job. Or you have a small business that's not making alot of money so you start hustling and your making nice money, you don't see yourself as a criminal, your not really hurting nobody, not the local police the drug task force, DEA or the FBI know about you. So let's say one day some stupid weed head wannabe gangsta get arrested and give you-up to the FEDs. Government Informant's are really not getting a lot of drugs off the street unless their snitching in a region that produce tons or unless their snitching on wholesalers other than that their just saving their ass. So all that about getting a heroin dealer off the street save that, he got one, one heroin dealer off the street big deal it ant like he stopped a ton of heroin from flooding the street. I'm going to make this basic somebody else is doing the time he couldn't do. I'm like Sean Carter young kids think stich'en is the shit! And iy maybe because so many young black males that play that gangsta shit get arrested and end up snitchen. The Feds have so many young black males working in so many different cities they can start a black mafia and ya"ll would think it's the hardest crew out hereon the street and it would be a bunch of snicthes.

Drug informant's lies lead to questions about the criminal justice system

Documents on Lee Lucas, drug agent in Mansfield case, sealed by judge
blog.cleveland.com/metro/lee_lucas/


Shanton & Bray never worked together but both put innocent people in prison, ruin careers, and in Brays case, tarnish the record of an outgoing U.S. attorney with an impeccable reputation.

The State or Justice Dept. should make all government informants take a polygraph test,[lie detector test.]The agency's manual says lie-detector tests are imperative with informants who appear untrustworthy.

Two snitches that seem to have a lot in common.

Jerrell Bray & Shanton Cassel are from Ohio they both are informants they both was enjoy spreading rumors and lies to frame people and set-up people in court.

Bray, before he was caught for framing people was helping agent Lucas build drug cases, Bray was helping Lucas look good for his overseers in the DEA and the U.S. attorney's office. Bray, perhaps without Lucas' knowledge, is using Lucas to frame rivals.Like Bray, Shanton is also using agents to set-up people he don't like.

In the year 2000 Keith Bomber, aka "Darail" aka Chilly B, and his cousin Shanton Cassell, aka "Shan," both black males ages in 2009 would be 36 or 37. Keith & Shan was speeding, not allegedly speeding, but speeding, down a highway with over 300 pounds of Marijuana, stupid, between Cleveland, Ohio and Columbus, Ohio.


Shan suffers from psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia the persistent jealousy of the paranoid personality. This government informant stalk folks trying to make a name of folks without them knowing. The people he use folks can see they face all day, but Shan like to stay out of sight. Shan demonstrate an almost pure culture of persecution,with delusional disorders of the paranoid type, paranoid personalities, and paranoid schizophrenia & Bipolar.

Bray, 35, would later admit that he had his own motives for working as an informant. He had dealt crack cocaine since getting out of prison in 2004 and wanted to eliminate his competition.

Bray planned to increase his share of the drug market by bringing down rivals. The way to do that? Pass along information to the DEA that would be used to arrest the rivals.

And if that didn't work, Bray could always lie about who was selling him the drugs. He set up people he hated, those who made fun of the chubby street dealer.

Because Lucas and Ansari relied on Bray to identify the people selling them drugs, Bray was able to use "stand-ins." He gave his friends cocaine and then told them to meet him with Lucas or Ansari. Bray's friends handed the drugs over to the undercover officers, who then paid them.

Shan, like Bray use "stand-ins." He will gave his friends cocaine and then tell them to meet him with undercover officers, who then will pay them.

Like Bray who set-up Webb, who federal officials shipped across the country to a mental health facilities to determine whether he suffered a psychological problem because he so vehemently denied the charges. They did this to get him out of the way and to make him look noncredible.

Anthony Smith was set-up [Proof of malice and the intent to oppress] There is more to this story. Court number A-06-259M [D.D.C. CR-98-399 Public defender who handled the case William H. Ibbotson [512]916-5025. In Texas, the U.S. Marshals fingerprinted and photographed Anthony Smith as someone named Antoine Smith a convicted felon, that warrant moved from Dallas, Texas to Washington DC, Anthony Smith social security card and Birth certificate came up missing from the county jail. They lied in Anthony face and to the nurse.

There is nothing you can do when your in the a corrupt US Marshals custody.

Than they took Anthony Smith to a county jail to be finger printed and photographed, again, as Antoine Smith after Anthony Smith had an identity hearing the judge at the hearing said, "this was the strangest thing that ever happened in his court room," they tried the same thing in Boston MA. This time Anthony Smith was held longer Anthony Smith was placed in a mental hospital, to get out of the State mental hospital, Anthony Smith had to write to his Public Defender William H. Ibbotson, to prove he was Anthony Smith and they wanted Anthony to say, "he no longer feel the government was after him," they mentioned that first to Anthony, Anthony never mentioned anything about the government being after him. And can take a polygraph test,[lie detector test] to back this up. Anthony was never a threat to himself or others Anthony was set-up by a U.S. Marshals in 2006 and 2007. "Next time, don't tell Anthony he's being set-up, and don't tell him your a Grand Imperial Wizard along with other things you told him. The reason it was done so sloppy is because they know Anthony Smith couldn't at the time afford the correct legal advise.

[There in alot more to this story]
Hidden in Anthony Smith laptop or backpack is a gps tracking unit this was done when Anthony Smith was held for a 30 min. for no reason & when he was in the county jail for no reason.

This was done because Shanton was suppose to start a prison sentence starting in 02'. Shan & Anthony don't speak to the same people the only people Shan know is people Anthony knew in the 80's. Shan was out on the streets by the end of 04' by the beginning of 05' Shan with the federal government was Cali trying to set-up Anthony "Tone" Smith up at UCLA & USC and try and make a name for them self as high rollers. Anthony don't speak to Shan or anybody Shan hang around. Shan is one of them distant family members Anthony don't speak about or think Shan or Keith in no way shape or form not until they tried to set Anthony up. It's one of them things when a low life try and bring down some one that can make something out there life.

Bray, like Shanton is a serial liar. Even though Shanton is a serial liar the agents tactics and investigation should be questioned because Shanton could not set-up people without them helping. And like Bray's story, Shanton should be forced to take two, FBI-administered lie-detector tests. And like Bray, Shanton will flunk each of them. I will put a half-million dollars on it.
Like most prosecutions, most drug investigation ended not with dramatic courtroom showdowns, but with plea bargains after quiet negotiations.

Eighteen people charged in the Lucas-Bray investigation pleaded guilty.One of the few public signs that something was amiss came in July 2006 when Dwayne Nabors, the supposed ringleader and kingpin in Mansfield, was acquitted on drug charges.

Webb, though, gets credit for unveiling the case as a fraud. He did it by refusing to take a plea, despite sitting in jail awaiting trial for 20 months, unable to make bail.

During that time, federal officials shipped him across the country to mental health facilities to determine whether he suffered a psychological problem because he so vehemently denied the charges.

After a series of appointed attorneys, Webb was assigned a public defender, Carlos Warner. In May 2007, Warner and an investigator walked into the Cleveland City Jail and met Bray, who was there on charges of shooting a man during a drug deal unrelated to the Mansfield case.

It began so simply: Warner wanted to get to the bottom of Webb's case.

In a sixth-floor interview room, Mr. Talk-a-lot couldn't stop crying.

He said he wanted to tell the truth, finally, about his role as a snitch in Mansfield. And he worried the truth would get him killed.

Bray told Warner that he orchestrated fake cases that sent more than two dozen people to jail, many of them innocent. He and Lucas worked together on several of the deals, Bray told Warner.

"Oh my God," the public defender said to himself, shaking after hearing Bray's confession. He was shocked and angered. Warner immediately called prosecutors about the statements.

Those who knew Lucas well immediately began smearing Warner, saying the young public defender tricked Bray or told the snitch that he was an FBI agent. Warner refused to back down, and Bray kept telling his story.

Lucas and federal prosecutors were stunned, demanding lie-detector tests to find the truth. Why now? Why would Bray say this 14 months after putting people away?

White, the federal prosecutor, initially stood solidly behind Lucas and refused to question the investigation. Bray was charged with attempted murder in state court and illegally possessing a gun in federal court.

A federal magistrate judge quickly appointed John McCaffrey, a former FBI agent and one of Cleveland's best white-collar defense lawyers, to represent Bray. McCaffrey soon discovered Bray's lies weren't limited to Mansfield.

He listened as Bray spouted tale after tale.

Most of them were fiction, law enforcement officials said. For instance, Bray said someone shot up his family's home in Cleveland. When police pulled the shell casing from the house, it appeared to match a bullet from one of Bray's guns.

McCaffrey realized Bray was a serial liar. But he also quickly questioned Lucas' tactics and investigation. To verify Bray's story, the attorney had Bray take two, FBI-administered lie-detector tests. He flunked each of them.

But his stories, McCaffrey discovered, were rooted in kernels of truth. McCaffrey was able to independently verify Bray's stories about using "stand-ins." McCaffrey and Warner found the stand-ins and got them to admit what they had done.

By now, White feared that a rogue snitch bungled his case. He also realized that months of discussions and questions about Lucas' truthfulness had re-emerged to haunt him.

White urged a judge to release France and Webb based on the evidence of Bray's lies.

In December, Bray pleaded guilty to perjury and violating people's civil rights in federal court. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Within weeks of the plea, special federal prosecutor Bruce Teitelbaum began presenting evidence to a grand jury. Grand jury witnesses said Lucas is the focus of the ongoing probe.

In January, acting on White's recommendation, a federal judge threw out the cases of 15 people in prison; all but one of them had pleaded guilty. He cited Bray's lies as tainting the evidence.

Shanton is still working under cover, and maybe involved in a auto theft ring.
