General rule: do not accord sentencing credit for information that bears no fruit; only in rare, exceptional cases where the information is demonstrated to be truthful and would likely have led to prosecutions and where failure is due to culpable inaction by authorities will some credit be given, with the burden on the accused to prove those facts; application dismissed on these grounds.
