There were some mainstream articles and blogs pointing out that this was considered a dead end assignment that none wanted. To be certain, I wouldn't appoint anyone that "wanted" such an assignment either as human nature would be more likely to take over; either the agents would be too willing to work out deals off the record or they'd be too willing to bash otherwise compliant companies based on their personal beliefs and not the letter of the law.




The thing is, what happens when you appoint someone who really doesn't want the job. They stay there for years, develop a bit of a drinking/gambling problem, start demanding payoff from the less reputable producers, maybe take a whore mistress, who turns him on to the Meth, so he starts demanding more payola. At this point, he's ripe for the plucking by the Mob and the corruptor has become the corrupted. He hasn't owned his own soul in twenty years and he's desperately looking forward to the day when he can retire to a little house in Arizona somewhere. But he can't because he's owned by the Mob, by the Meth and by his mistress. He'd be better off unloading his service weapon into his head. Another sad tale of the Bureau.
