Methinks you don't follow the actions of the Dallas USAO very often. They like making deals even more than the providers in the ISO forum.

With that said I read sean riders summary of the government's complaint, I understand what his plea. Based on his alleged acts and the so called facts according to Sean rider this would have been a dream case to prosecute to some of the prosecutors I once knew. Any plea arrangement would have likely been for a much stiffer sentence considering the amount of time he could have faced if convicted by a jury on illegal firearms and pandering charges. So, it's quite possible the victim being VI probably lied or gave misleading information to the authorities which opened the door for this plea arrangement. And there are both federal and state statutes pertaining to pimping, it was likely the firearms charge that landed this case in the federal courts. Also understand the reality that people agree to plea to crimes that are not truly indicative of what they have actually done all of the time as a means to save there ass. Judging by his commentary and knowledge I strongly suspect that Sean rider was directly on indirectly a party to this case in some shape or form. So I say again, I wouldn't be surprised if there are facts related to the case not disclosed or not known by Sean rider which had impacted on this plea agreement.
And Sean rider one more thing, yes this thread has gotten a lot of views. Mainly from people like me who don't necessarily give a shit, but who find entertainment and enjoyment in watching shit shows and train wrecks.
