They turned a high volume illicit prescription drug seller case in to multiple arrests of hitmen. We also don't know what, if any, deal he has been offered. That seems like it was probably a great score for the DOJ.

Keep in mind, a lot of the crimes we've read about in this story are himself, a non-US citizen not in the US, doing things with/to non-US citizens not in the US. I imagine the prosecutors are fare less concerned about a South African living in The Philippines having a Filipino killed than they are with the fact that the killers were brought in from the US.
