Dark Wire : The Incredible True Story of the Largest Sting Operation Ever

Dark Wire: The Incredible True Story of the Largest Sting Operation Ever In 2018, a powerful app for secure communications, Anom, began to take root among drug dealers and other criminals. With extraordinary safeguards, it offered a level of security that was unmatched by other apps popular among organized crime syndicates. However, what made Anom unique was that it was secretly run by law enforcement. As the FBI, along with their international partners, gained access to the app, they were able to watch drug deals and hits being planned in real time. This unprecedented level of visibility allowed them to make arrests without blowing their cover. Over the next few years, a vast network of criminals, including members of South American drug cartels, the Calabrian mafia, and the Chinese Triad, did their business in full view of the officers they were trying to evade. This extraordinary sting operation raises fundamental questions about policing in a globalized economy. With everyone connected and no one completely free, the consequences of such a vast and high-speed economy are severe. Dark Wire is a gripping account of one of the largest sting operations ever conducted, and a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges that come with policing in the digital age.
