With the "Ogre" nature of the ATF (is that a party store) that ought to be easier than many RICO claims in history!
Not really. If I were making such a claim, I'd need to prove one of two things:
  1. That Agent Smitty made specific, documented threats of retribution should I refuse to cooperate. Even a threat of greater scrutiny or more aggressive auditing would be unlikely to qualify, since those are within his duties, and within the law.
  2. That Agent Smitty made specific, documented promises of some reward should I cooperate.
