I know the government doesn't work together as one solitary unit, but that is not a valid argument for what is happening here.

The FBI investigated Jackson Jr. Here is a quote from their own website on the case:

"The sentencings were announced by U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen, Jr., Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office Valerie Parlave, and Chief of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) Richard Weber."

And the most damning aspect of the case as far as the FBI is concerned:

"In announcing the sentences, U.S. Attorney Machen, Assistant Director in Charge Parlave and Chief Weber commended the work of those who investigated the case for the FBI and IRS-CI. They also expressed appreciation for the assistance provided by the U.S. Marshals Service on the asset forfeiture aspects of the case. In addition, they commended those who worked on the case from the U.S. Attorney’s Office."


So here is the FBI thanking the US Marshals for seizing assets from Jackson Jr. that the FBI itself worked to eliminate from the marketplace during their own investigation.

These assets were then subsequently put up for sale to collectors the FBI is actively working to protect from just this type of fraud.
