So the reason they just plead guilty without a deal is?I am not sure you actually read my post.
exactly my point. the reason why they go after the top guys is bc they are the masterminds running the operation and if you cut the head off the tail dies. but here that isnt the case if there are no masterminds there are no top guys to chase
How do you know it was with out a deal?

That was the pretense of the discussion and my comment on Aaron's comment. Please see above.I personally suspect that there either was a deal or that the defendants think that they are getting a deal compared to what they could be charged with.
Assuming it was all done K'Din, there might be an element of Kiduush Hashem in admitting it (as opposed to contesting it).
So who is left?
Seems he used some of these guys and once he was caught gave info that led to the Epstein Wolmark stinghttp://www.app.com/article/20140506/NJNEWS14/305060029/Lakewood-rabbi-admits-plot-kidnap-Orthodox-Jewish-man-force-religious-divorce
At the end of the day they all knew what they were doing and knew they risked getting caught. It's really just a sad story.
