A Michigan man described as “an accomplished international gem merchant” says he’s owed $25 million from the FBI for allegedly giving them the tip that led to the death of Osama bin Laden. Tom Lee of Grand Rapids retained Chicago lawyer Michael Kanovitz to petition the FBI for the money. In a letter sent to FBI Director James Comey, Kanovitz claims that “In 2003, Mr. Lee accurately reported to Special Agent Roberta Gilligan the location of the compound where Osama bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad, Pakistan, the very location where bin Laden was subsequently found and killed during a raid carried out by members of the U.S. military.”

The letter says Mr. Lee received notification from a Pakistani Intelligence Agent that bin Laden had been living in that country. The agent allegedly told Lee that he relocated bin Laden and his family to the compound in Abbotabad at the direction of the Pakistani Intelligence Agency ISI.
