  Prof Seigel was used as a legal source on striking a favorable deal with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Cabrera is accused of swindling investors in his land deals out of $2.8 million, but at the trial claimed he and his wife had only $900 in joint checking account. “The earlier the better” is the general rule when striking a deal with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, he said. “Once you’ve taken them to trial they’re less inclined. But if it’s an individual who has a lot of good information and knows a lot of people and is likely to testify, they're more interested in cutting a deal.”
