Thoughts on question I was asked?

A question for you: a friend of a friend got ripped off by his broker -- stole his and others' money, probably a ponzi-scheme. Has been arrested for this; criminal case is proceeding. Client just learned that Broker was cooperating with Feds (I don't know on what subject) in order to stay out of jail for the past four years, from a 2007 conviction. He faces federal Grand Jury sentencing this July. Client wonders if he has a case against Feds for letting him out for these four years, as a convicted felon, and allowing Broker to operate illegally, and in that time to steal Client's money. He wonders if he has a case. I think it gets all caught up in immunity issues, but this is not my world. Any thoughts? Or are you interested in talking with Client?
