Kontogiannis just can’t stop snitching.

This time around, his cooperation helped lead to the indictment of one-time ADCS bigwig Brent Wilkes, as well as his own nephew, John Michael. From the February 21, 2007 hearing, here’s a telling exchange between prosecutor Jason Forge and Judge Larry Burns:

THE COURT: How long ago was the plea agreement struck with Mr. Kontogiannis?

FORGE: Your honor, the date, the content — within the past couple of weeks, February 9, 2007. We signed it when it was struck. We did not reach an agreement and postpone. It was struck just before we indicted the case against Mr. Wilkes and Mr. Michael, and that was a requirement for the plea.
