The Federal Government Spends Hundreds of Millions of Dollars on ‘Informants’ – The Dirty FBI Spends $42 Million a Year on Informants

The Federal government is paying hundreds of millions of dollars to informants in their efforts to catch the ‘bad guys’. 

The Federal government paid out at least $548 million to informants as a part of normal operations.  The FBI spent an average of $42 million a year on informants in their operations.

Federal agencies paid out at least $548 million to informants working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), in recent years, according to government audits.

  • A few informants became millionaires, with some Amtrak and “parcel” delivery workers making nearly $1 million or more.
  • Many informants were authorized to commit “crimes” with the permission of their federal handlers. In a four-year period, there were 22,800 crime authorizations (2011-2014).
  • The FBI paid approximately $294 million (FY2012-2018), the DEA paid at least $237 million (FY2011-2015), and ATF paid approximately $17.2 million total (FY2012-2015) to informants.
