…but this is just too much to pass up.

The FBI thought it was closing in on Joran Van der Sloot in the notorious Natalee Holloway missing-teenager case, and he was videotaped and paid $25,000 in a sting operation. But when the agency delayed his arrest to help build a criminal case, he took the money and headed for Peru, where authorities say he now has confessed to killing a different young woman.

Feel like paying your taxes? That money goes to a good cause, after all. It picks up the tab for Peruvian murder sprees in fleabag hotels by some punk who should have been in the clink years ago. Did the FBI at least get a receipt?
