The remark in turn led to numerous unanswered questions about just how many boys Grimm had, in fact, broken in half. (At the time of publication, the former congressman has not been charged with any crimes related to boy-breaking or assault.)The case is also notable because Grimm, a former Marine, was also once an FBI agent… who went after fraud. During his time in the bureau, he posed as a corrupt Wall Street trader for an operation called "Wooden Nickel," in which he busted white-collar criminals. It was actually his former colleagues at the FBI who arrested him. George Venizelos, the FBI's assistant director, had choice words for Grimm at the time, saying, "As a former FBI agent, Representative Grimm should understand the motto: Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity. Yet he broke our credo at nearly every turn."Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again, I'll throw you off this fucking balcony. If you ever do that to me again… No, no, you're not man enough. You are not man enough. I'll break you in half. Like a boy.
