Free drugs and prostitutes... who could refuse. Really. If you are in that "business" and you refuse you have certainly brought attention to yourself. None of us will really ever know the truth I fear... but with all the realistic TV shows such as Breaking Bad and Sons Of Anarchy and another I forgot the title of in which a low end drug producer is caught and turned undercover agent who infiltrates and makes VP of a biker gang, while the "feds" keep jerking him around. If you don't act and live like these guys you wouldn't live very long.

P.S. "The Beast" belongs in that list for sure, R. I. P. Patrick Swayze.

I didn't get the impression these were undercover DEA agents. It seams that the cartel or cartels were/are giving them gifts and buying them prostitutes precisely because they are DEA agents, i.e., bribery. The reporting is primarily focusing on the sexual misconduct aspect, and ignoring the more serious issue of the relationships that the DEA has with some cartels ( corruption ). Of course that part is probably top secret, but it just looks real bad to me.

The "sex parties" scandal refers to allegations that the Drug Enforcement Administration's chief, Chuck Rosenberg, tolerated a "good old boy" culture within the agency that included agents engaging in sexual activities with prostitutes provided by drug cartels. These allegations came to light through a report by the Department of Justice's inspector general.

Chuck Rosenberg is resigning due to the "sex parties" scandal and the subsequent report by the inspector general that criticized his leadership and handling of the issue. The report stated that Rosenberg failed to take appropriate action and address the culture of misconduct within the DEA.

3. Who will replace Chuck Rosenberg as the DEA chief?

As of now, there is no official announcement on who will replace Chuck Rosenberg as the DEA chief. However, the acting administrator will likely be Uttam Dhillon, who currently serves as the DEA's deputy administrator.

4. What are the implications of this scandal for the DEA and its operations?

The scandal has raised concerns about the integrity and effectiveness of the DEA and its ability to carry out its mission to combat drug trafficking.

5. How will Chuck Rosenberg's resignation impact the ongoing opioid crisis in the United States?

It is unclear how Chuck Rosenberg's resignation will specifically impact the ongoing opioid crisis in the United States.

The new leadership of the agency will need to prioritize and address this crisis in their efforts to combat drug abuse and addiction.
