They didn't bother linking to it, but the same news outlet gave more information back in August [1] naming Doug Williams as the other person instructing how to pass polygraphs. Another article released by a local news outlet two days later [2] stated that he was sought for questioning but not charged with any crime.
As for the other guy, he wasn't convicted of writing a book on fooling the polygraph. According to the prosecuting attorney [3], he was travelling around the US giving one-on-one advice to clients who wanted to pass the polygraph for $1-2k plus travel expenses each, receiving specific details about each case, instructed them to lie and provided instruction on exactly how to conceal those details. I think in this case the feds definitely have reasonable suspicion to believe that his clients are guilty of perjury or falsifying testimony in order to gain employment with the federal government, and they had enough evidence to show that he knowingly aided them. I'm not surprised at all that they took his business records for further scrutiny.
