Government Laptop of DEA Informants Missing


An unnamed auditor for the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General who had the task of reviewing payments to DEA informants is the last person know to have had a laptop containing a wealth of confidential information on up to 100 informants.

First the auditor said the laptop was stolen from his truck but when confronted by investigators, changed his story and said he had accidentally damaged then destroyed it and threw it in a dumpster to avoid embarrassment.
