- rejecting government's argument that safety valve should be withheld from defendants who wait until the last minute
- finding even last minute full cooperation comported with the requirements of the safety valve provision
- all noting that prior untruths or last minute disclosures do not automatically disqualify a defendant from safety valve relief but become part of the mix of evidence in evaluating the truthfulness and completeness of the disclosure
