Daniel Vorcaro, the disgraced banker who led the now-liquidated, fraud-ridden Banco Master, has filed a document with the Supreme Court detailing the crimes he is willing to admit and the co-conspirators he is willing to name. A review by authorities and intense negotiations will follow as investigators press for more. 

Justice André Mendonça, who oversees the case, was reportedly unimpressed, saying Vorcaro's account does not match evidence already pulled from his cell phones and fails to implicate major figures, including Senate President Davi Alcolumbre. 

Vorcaro has been in jail since early March. This is his second attempt at a plea deal — investigators turned down the first, believing he had provided insufficient information.
