The Rewards for Justice Program offered up to $50 million for information that led to the capture and/or conviction of Nicolas Maduro. After providing vital intelligence to support the Maduro operation, whistleblowers say the US government went “silent.” If the program does not pay for credible leads and tips, they believe it will discourage other sources from cooperating with future US operations. Retired General Mike Flynn was told the DEA Administrator would look into, but there was no further response. LA Times Media Group LA Times Studios

EXCLUSIVE: Whistleblowers Seeking $50 Million ‘Reward For Justice’ After Capture of Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro Give First Interview and Release 2026 Affidavit Detailing Specific Intelligence They Say Led To Successful Raid This week on Straight to the Point, I sat down for an exclusive first interview with two former DEA agents with more than 40 years of combined experience in the global drug wars. Wesley Tabor, and an undercover agent we agreed to call “Mack,” revealed how their source network infiltrated “every node” of the Maduro regime and delivered vital intelligence to DEA, Delta Operators and others that, they say, directly contributed to the dictator’s capture. The Rewards for Justice Program falls under the U.S. State Department. Affidavits and other records independently reviewed by our team detail how sources provided the US government with bunker schematics, underground tunnels, convoy photographs, offensive military bases, escape aircraft tail numbers, gold stockpiles, and even key movements of Maduro and his spiritual advisor. Wesley and “Mack” say this information was extracted from Venezuela using unconventional methods such as commercial “entertainment” platforms and at great risk to their sources. Now four months since the historic raid in Venezuela, they say they have received no response on their $50 million ‘Rewards for Justice’ claim which would help their sources begin new lives. Currently, Wes and “Mack” said the sources, and their families, including children are being hunted down and their lives threatened. If the Rewards for Justice Program does not pay for credible leads and tips, Wes and Mack said it will discourage other sources from cooperating and supporting future US operations. We reached out to six government agencies directly involved in the Maduro raid. We heard back from two. A spokesperson for the CIA and a spokesperson for the Department of War referred our questions to either the Justice Department, State Department or White House. 00:35 Sources “100% Confident” intelligence led to successful capture of Nicolas Maduro and saved lives 01:20 Former undercover DEA operative 'Mack' 02:00 Decision to Come Forward 02:23 Intel on Maduro’s convoy, security detail, routes, weapons, military, maps, underground tunnels and bunkers 03:14 Underground tunnels: schematics for plumbing, water grid and dimensions, thickness bunker as well as concrete reinforcement 03:55 Source network saw opportunity to take their country back 04:18 Motivated by patriotism and US promise of $50 million dollar reward 05:10 Sources in “every node” Maduro government 05:55 September 2025 meeting brokered with DEA Administrator who assigned DEA agents, contact established with Delta Force representative 06:30 Source information filled “gaps” in US intelligence gathering 07:18 Unconventional methods such as “entertainment” platforms used to get information out of Venezuela 07:48 October 2025 major development in DEA's role 10:09 Key intelligence: Maduro’s spiritual advisor and underground tunnel network 11:35 Maduro’s escape plan: Moving dollars, euros and gold 12:50 Whistleblowers: Some sources killed in Delta raid 14:03 President Trump and Secretary Rubio on who gets $50 million reward 14:48 Team and sources seek $50 million reward: “We heard nothing” from US government 14:58 Retired General Mike Flynn was told the DEA Administrator “would look into it,” but no response since 15:45 Whistleblowers deny it's a money grab 16:15 Rewards for Justice program concerns 17:33 Maduro sources and their families are being “hunted down” 17:48 For US military, it's a "ground ball" to ensure the safety of the sources 18:14 Response from US government agencies LA Times Media Group LA Times Studios
