The only other source for Bruce Ivins's 'dark side' is his brother Tom.
Bruce Ivins's brother Tom hadn't spoken to him from 1985 but that didn't prevent him from cited in the LAT article as one of the key sources for the FBI's 'case.' In Tom Ivins's own words, he "sang like a canary."
From WCPO in Cincinnati:
"It was his own fault, I thought," said Tom Ivins. "What he did, he screwed himself up. He got involved with the wrong people."

Meanwhile, Sunday's Baltimore Sun (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/crime/bal-te.md.ivins03aug03,0,1282203.story) interviewed some of the neighbors from where Bruce Ivins grew up. In 2007 and 2008, the FBI gave neighbors the cover story that Bruce Ivins had faked his own death:
Barbara Weisenfelder didn't believe the FBI agents for one minute. They had told the director of this village's historical museum that they had come all the way from Washington to interview residents as part of an insurance fraud investigation.The agents said Bruce Ivins, 62, the youngest son of the town's long-deceased druggist, had faked his death. And they wanted to know everything about him and his family.
