Chad played informants like Ponds and pissed off his fellow agents. He cut corners and

worked around the clock to become a legend. Chad was on top for almost two decades, but

it would all come crashing down in 2016. When two men on his team turned on him, Chad

would get hauled into DEA's internal affairs, and the feds would go over his career with a fine

tooth comb. It was a sprawling investigation. A ton of people would have the chance to dish the

dirt on Chad. Somewhere his allies tried and true. Others said that Chad had derailed their lives,

and some were just trading up. As Chad said himself, if they snitch for you, they'll snitch on you.

Informants snitch up, they don't snitch down, and Chad was going down.

And I know we're kind of jumping around, but I want to go back to how you initially

were contacted by Chad's guy. This is a recording from the federal investigation.

Part of that fire we're not supposed to have, it's one of the interviews that landed Chad in

big trouble. Asking the questions here is Douglas Bruce from DOJ.

This is Senior Special Agent Douglas Bruce with the United States Department of Justice,

Office of the Inspector General. And answering the questions is Booby.

You might remember Frederick Brown, Booby from episode two. He's Chad's informant.

They worked together up until Booby was pulled over with a suitcase full of cash.

Booby was arrested and went to prison. That was May of 2015.

Now, almost a year later, Booby sitting down with a team of feds investigating Chad.

The tables are turning. Because as good as Chad was at getting people under his thumb,

he didn't always dot his eyes and cross his teeth. Booby's word will help plan Chad in prison.

I think the last time we spoke, you were on your way back to Houston from

80 over here. Yeah, let's start there.
