When will the big bucks stop?

In March 2003, the FBI determined Timothy Willis would be in long time employment with the US Government.

Burns agreed with Scholl that a service contract is important, but Willis started making his $6000.00 a month compensation before he signed the agreement. According to Burns, once a service agreement is signed, it doesn't have to have a set end date.

"I know in the manual there is not a set time. I know in some of them there is a set clause of when they expire," says Burns.

Willis's contract has no set end date.

"That agreement will continue until whenever you guys say stop?" asks Scholl.

"That's correct," says Burns.

Willis continued receiving $6000 until August 2005. The indictments occured in May 2005. According to Agent Burns, Willis was out of Memphis around May 15 about a week before the indictments came down --as per the FBI.

"We were in contact with him to make sure he got out," says Burns.

Up until today, Willis is still being paid monthly compensation from the FBI. Burns says it's because they still need him to at their beck and call.

"We would send him transcripts for review," says Burns. "We asked him to be available to come to Memphis whenever we needed him."

When asked how often he needs to come to Memphis, Burns responded with, "He probably averaged monthly."
