DARK WIRE The Incredible True Story of the Largest Sting Operation Ever

Peter Ganim adopts the voice of a broadcast reporter. His trustworthy tone grounds this unbelievable but true story of an FBI sting. It begins in 2018, when the fibbies shut down an encrypted phone business and then create a "legit" start-up that will sell supposedly encrypted phones to international criminals. The faux start-up becomes more popular with international crime cartels than the agents ever could have imagined. As law enforcement listens in, they are able to prevent robberies, fraud, and even murders. All of it eventually leads to the most extensive worldwide sting operation in FBI history. Ganim keeps the story moving and even makes the technical aspects of encryption and coding fascinating. R.W.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
