Bal allegedly operated the Dirty News site, which routinely published crime-scene descriptions, photos and profiles before being removed at authorities' request. U.S. prosecutors allege Bal accepted $10,000 to post a photo of a key FBI witness to enable enterprise members to locate and kill him and agreed to remain silent about Wedding and lieutenant Andrew Clark.
