Re: Allegations

Hire the best criminal defense attorney you can afford. Do not go in to talk to anyone. Do not make any more statements to anyone except your attorney.

Re: Allegations

You need to hire an attorney. Do not deal with the US Attorney's office alone. They will not help you but only try to get you to admit things you may have not done. You can contact my office at www.sananlaw.com for a free consultation.

Re: Allegations

I strongly suggest that you contact a lawyer before you make any statements. If you are charged you are going to need a lawyer anyway so you should retain a lawyer now to help you negotiate with the USAO.
