		Although John was arrested with drugs in the hotel room where he was meeting undercover agents (there is an infamous video documenting the arrest), John had nothing to do with the transportation of the substance.
		In a strange twist, it appears that John was not even using his own money to do the supposed laundering, but monies put up for him by the DEA as part of the sting operation.

		When John was filing for Ch.7 Bankruptcy protection in August of 2000, Mayer Morganroth tried to block his motion in court, apparently because he claimed John still owed him millions of dollars in legal fees that he hadn't been paid over the years for defending John in court.
		An article from November 2, 1995 concerning Morganroth and John's disagreement over the legal fees owed was very biased against John (as most articles in the press seem to be).
		John's letter is an attempt to explain the circumstances and deceptions involved in his supposed defense by Morganroth, and John even includes evidence to back up his claims.
