Gun-tracking operation netted its top suspect, then let him go - latimes.com
Quote:
Seven months after federal agents began the ill-fated Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation, they stumbled upon their main suspect in a remote Arizona outpost on the Mexican border, driving an old BMW with 74 rounds of ammunition and nine cellphones hidden inside.
Had they arrested him red-handed trying to smuggle ammunition into Mexico, Fast and Furious might have ended quickly. Instead, the program dragged on for another eight months, spiraling out of control.

They believed him when he said he would cooperate.
7 months later, Border Agent Terry was murdered by weapon from F&F.
