A California man who helped the FBI over four years build a case against an international drug trafficker and money launderer — only to be falsely implicated as being part of the crime syndicate — has asked FBI Director James Comey for help in clearing his name, The Post has learned.
But Comey has not yet lifted a finger to help the one-time confidential source, the man claims.
The man, a professional gambler and philanthropist who uses the pseudonym Robin Hood 702, traveled to Sydney, Australia, in August 2011 to help the FBI and local cops nab Owen Hanson, a former USC football player-turned-alleged drug dealer.
Hanson and cohorts of the alleged Southern California-based syndicate were indicted by a San Diego grand jury in January — largely due to Robin Hood’s help. But a story about the probe in the Sydney Morning Herald one month after the visit wrongly fingered the gambler as being part of the syndicate.
That report led to Robin Hood being barred from every casino in the world.
“Being barred from every major casino — through no fault of my own — means I have no means of support,” Robin Hood wrote in a March 5 letter to Comey, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.
“What the compliance officials at these casinos do not know is that I had nothing to do with any illegal activity,” the letter reads. “In fact, I was in Australia to help fight illegal activity. I have not been charged with any crime and I have not been implicated in any crime.”
To be sure, Hanson has threatened to kidnap and kill Robin Hood and his wife, Greice, because of the gambler’s work at bringing the alleged felon to justice, according to court papers.
Because he can’t set foot in any casino in the world, the letter states, Robin Hood is being robbed of his livelihood and his ability to support his family and his charitable foundation — which has handed out more than $1 million to needy families around the world.
Robin Hood asked Comey to reach out to compliance officers at two large Las Vegas casinos — the MGM Grand and Caesars Palace — to set the record straight. Comey has yet to respond to the letter and has not reached out to the casinos, Robin Hood said.
“All I want is to be able to provide for my family and to help more families in need across the United States,” Robin Hood said in the letter, which he signed “Jackpot,” his code name while helping the FBI.
