“at times they acted as informants in other matters, [they] did not act as informers in the course of this conspiracy. They were not agents for the Government but were off on a frolic and detour for their own private profit. Indeed, defense counsel at trial recognized that [one of the three informants] was in fact an accomplice ... [and that another informant] was indicted and convicted for participating in this very scheme and was sentenced to a term of imprisonment therefor.”
