necessary authorized expenditures, and the like. Our
files do not disclose an allocation of these funds."
Petitioner executed a receipt on or about
September 30, 1993, which states as follows: "On this
date I, Tony Rodriguez, received $100,000 from the FBI
as witnessed by the two Special Agents of the FBI whose
signatures appear below mine." At that time, petitioner
actually received a cash payment of $90,000 and the
cancellation of an advance of $10,000 that had previously
been made on August 6, 1993, in anticipation of the lump-
sum payment. The receipt for the advance payment that
was executed by petitioner states that it was paid "for
services".
Petitioner expected to receive more than the $100,000
from the FBI. His understanding was that the FBI could
pay him a maximum of $250,000. He expected the FBI to pay
him the maximum amount because the operation had been so
successful. He later sued the FBI and six agents of the
FBI in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania attempting to obtain more money.
His suit was transferred by the District Court to the
United States Court of Federal Claims. See Rodriguez
v. FBI, 876 F. Supp. 706 (E.D. Pa. 1995). His suit was
unsuccessful.
