The government has total discretion whether to submit the 5K letter to the judge. A lot depends on the quality of\u00a0 the information provided by the defendant. For example, the defendant who provides information that the prosecutors can easily obtain elsewhere or who really doesn\u2019t have any \u201cbig fish to sell\u201d may never earn the 5K letter. Another example of the government\u2019s refusal to submit the 5K letter is the cooperating defendant\u2019s low value as a trial witness, particularly where the defendant\u2019s credibility is problematic. This is known as a \u00a0\u201dnon-5K cooperation\u201d.<\/p><p>Each Case involving the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office and the scenario is different.
