I am so glad to see this post.
Let the truth be known to all!
Please check out what I wrote after he passed:

Please keep in mind that after Cogo (read the affidavit): page 6, paragraph 11, and I quote Cogo: “Attachment 6 consist of true and accurate copies of a representative sample of the hundreds of lists I received from The Seed Bank… Although (Nevil) Schoenmakers told me to destroy these lists, I kept them as a record of my activities in support of his operation.”

FYI:
During a two-week period beginning on October 26, 1989, the DEA raided gardening centers and private homes in 46 states. The results of that first phase of Green Merchant – released on November 9, 1989 – were:
o 377 arrests of private citizens for marijuana cultivation;
o 42,677 marijuana plants seized (the Justice Department counts unsprouted seeds in soil as marijuana plants);
o 875 pounds of packaged marijuana seized;
o 5 pounds of mushrooms seized;
o 280 indoor grow-sites seized;
o 19 stores and warehouses seized;
o 11 store owners arrested (8 store owners had their businesses seized without being charged of any criminal activity);
o $7,318,000 in total assets seized.
o 19 stores closed down: 7 stores forfeited, 11 currently under forfeiture litigation, 1 store no explanation;
o 16 store owners arrested;
o $9,208,928 in total assets seized.
(No new statistics on either quantities of packaged marijuana or other illegal substances seized.)
The Operation was far from over. During the past 18 months the DEA has continued its Green Merchant investigations. The most recent figures – released by the Justice Department on February 1, 1991 – are:
o 443 arrests of private citizens for marijuana cultivation;
o 50,794 marijuana plants seized (including unsprouted seeds in soil);
