Around the same time, Wright asked the same informant to introduce him to a person who could help burn down his restaurant, Fat Boyz Grill, federal prosecutors said. Wright was later confronted by agents and confessed to hiring someone to burn down his business. The next day, prosecutors said, Wright asked for the informant’s help to make the undercover agent “go away” and ensure nobody would testify against him.
