okay, explain the parallel construction possibility?
he would have been emailing anyone and the compromised wires picked it up for the FBI to then begin their sting operation?
The FBI still had to do the work, but I think its also plausible that they have a bunch of honeypot email inboxes around. I think since they had to do all the communication as well as the transferring of funds that it's not really parallel construction, at least in any controversial way for evidence collection. They got additional evidence that doesn't need creating a rationale retroactively.
