Not one source named. The story comes from "Investigators" and presumably an indictment document. On the plus side, this is one of the few articles sticking to the legal story, and not the suspect's campaign contributions. Factual error: gives the AKA as "Michael Nixon" (it is "Michael Mixon").

has no sources or countersources. Tells us nothing except that an indictment was handed down, relies on scare mongering to make any impact. Typical TV "news" story: short, unsourced, unreliable
