Marcus DiPaola Federal-Informant Self-Admission Surfaces (Post-Sentencing)

Approximately a year and a half after Ryan's sentencing — while Ryan was in federal prison — a fellow detainee surfaced a public-record archive (https://archive.ph/jYVkv) in which Marcus DiPaola self-identifies as having worked for the FBI Chicago field office from 2016 to 2019 and openly discusses having been hot-mic'd and wired in 2020. Those years align precisely with the period he was embedded inside Ryan's hurricane-rescue organization and in direct contact with Ryan. The disclosure should have been turned over pre-plea under Brady v. Maryland. It was not.
