Fake Facebook account case settled with DEA who admits no wrongdoing

DEA paid Sondra Arquiett $134,000 (89,000) in a settlement in which the agency doesn’t admit to doing anything wrong. The New York woman was arrested in a 2010 drug bust and was sentenced to time served plus a period of home confinement. She sued in 2013, saying that she suffered fear and emotional distress and was put in danger because the fake page made her look like she was ratting people out in a federal investigation. The Department of Justice argued that the DEA had the right to impersonate the woman by taking out a Facebook page in her name.”]
