Hire the best criminal defense attorney you can find. FBI coming after you? GET A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY RIGHT AWAY AND DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE YOU DO! AND DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE OR ANYONE ELSE AT ALL, UNTIL YOU TALK TO YOUR LAWYER.
Why is he your former lawyer. Since he was already talking to the F.B.I. he is the best person to advise you. Generally, the feds do what they want to do and do not do what they do not want to do. Their not wanting to prosecute you is good news because probably they will not
