DEA 'informant' tries to steal $150,000 given to expose money launderers, feds say
Briefly

Daniel Shaun Zilke, also known as 'The Englishman,' was sentenced to 87 months for money laundering and attempting to steal $150,000 from the DEA.
Zilke arranged the laundering of millions from drug dealers, using bank accounts, including one linked to a charity, from 2015 to 2020.
In 2019, Zilke approached the DEA claiming he'd help expose money laundering but ultimately stole $150,000 intended for a DEA operation.
After being made a cooperator, Zilke misled the DEA about the laundering timeline, thus hiding his theft of $150,000.
