FWIW: When Markoff showed up with Tsutomu, the FBI agents "assumed" that he was there with Tsutomu as a fellow researcher/grad student/assistant/whatever.
They had no idea (initially) that he was with the media.

I take it that you were in the vicinity? Or is this just what you've heard? Any more iside tidbits on the bust?
I spoke to one of the case agents who was in on the bust while at a Computer Crime Conference at Quantico. I don't recall any other tidbits at the moment, but I'll think about it again. They were fairly closemouthed about the whole thing because it was reasonably soon after the arrest and the case was just getting going (that is, the "case" in court, not the "matter" under investigation -- U.S. Attorney-speak).
