Did Ortega present sufficient evidence to require the trial judge to instruct the jury on entrapment?
Jose Reyes Ortega-Gonzalez (Ortega), a Mexican banker, was videotaped at a meeting set up by undercover agents, agreeing to launder money and helping to perfect a money laundering scheme. This was part of Operations Checkmark and Casablanca, the largest undercover money laundering and drug investigations in United States history, aimed at destroying the Colombian Cali and Juarez cocaine cartels. Ortega claims that prior to his money laundering activities, four armed men entered his father's house and threatened him, Ortega's immediate family, and the family of Ortega's wife, and asked about Ortega's willingness and ability to launder money. Ortega reported this incident to his bank's security head, but not to the Mexican police, believing them to be corrupt. Ortega then began to notice a strange car parking outside his residence. He was then contacted by Navarro, a low-level money launderer for the Cali cartel, who invited him to Los Angeles to meet "potential investors," who turned out to be Mendoza and several other undercover agents who had gained Navarro's confidence. The men at the meeting requested that Ortega facilitate the money laundering, which he did. Ortega claims that Mendoza made a number of veiled threats and repeatedly alluded to the Cali cartel's well-known reputation for violence. Ortega asserts that he feared for the lives and safety of his family, that he had never been involved in money laundering, and that he became involved only out of fear for himself and his family.
