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

Written in the style of a gripping crime thriller and based on true events, this story tells the story of the organization and execution of the largest special operation in the world, for which the FBI created its own technology startup for the purpose of eavesdropping. In 2018, a powerful secure communication application called Anom took root among organized crime members. They believed that Anom would allow them to conduct business in the shadows. Everything was so, except for one thing: the dark web was secretly managed by the FBI. Secure access to Anom and a series of related investigations secured representatives of American, Australian and European intelligence agencies a place in the front row of the criminal world. Tens of thousands of criminals acted in full view of the same agents from whom they tried to hide on the dark web. International smugglers. Money launderers. Killers. A shadowy global economy that is as efficient as the legal one. The officers watched drug shipments, conspiracies, and murders unfold, making arrests but never blowing their cover. The author's meticulous investigation reveals the true scale and stakes of an unprecedented special operation. This tense thriller is not fiction, but the reality of a modern world in which no one can be sure that they are not being eavesdropped on or followed.
