2. Why did confessed con man Mel Weinberg agree to help the FBI?

2. 为什么承认犯罪事实的诈骗犯梅尔·温伯格同意帮助FBI?

The real Irving Rosenfeld, Mel Weinberg, had been running get-rich-quick schemes that mainly included insurance fraud and various other investment scams. His swindling days ended when the FBI nabbed him for operating a bogus international banking and investment firm, London Investors, out of a furnished leased office in Melville, Long Island.

欧文·罗森菲尔德的塬型，梅尔·温伯格，当时正在捣鼓保险诈骗和其他的投资骗局为主的、所谓“一夜致富”的犯罪计划。他在长岛的梅尔维尔租了一间办公室，挂名“伦敦投资公司”，其实就是一个空壳的国际银行和投资公司，后来FBI查出他的犯罪行径，温伯格的诈骗生涯也就告一段落。

Weinberg's luck ran out in 1977 when a real estate man from Pittsburgh reported him to the FBI. Arrested along with his mistress Evelyn Knight and conspirator Patrick Francis, he was indicted by a federal grand jury for mail fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy. Unlike what is seen in the movie, the real FBI agent behind Bradley Cooper's character Richie DiMaso, whose actual name is Anthony Amoroso, was not on hand for Mel and Evelyn's arrest. Agent Amoroso didn't meet con man Mel Weinberg until after Weinberg agreed to a deal to help the FBI. -NJ.com
