I was a case agent on it.

It's my only case that has its own Wikipedia entry.

Operation Crooked Code.

Right.

This case involves Romanians, but I came to actually really like Romanians as a people.

You know, again, you hate stereotyping.

I'm sure there's good and bad people in Romania.

But they are, the Romanian dudes are super dapper, always well-groomed, always beautifully dressed.

And Romanian women are very glamorous, the ones that I met.

Most of these people are not in Romania, right?

The ones that I'm dealing with are in Chicago.

Right.

And so... Do you see they were like that in Romania?

I have no idea.

I remember maybe these are the ones who got out.

But they were very kind of, I'm not going to say flashy, but just well put together and just really, really handsome and beautiful people, like visually, even if some of them had some moral issues, some ethical problems.

So in Chicago, we were having an issue.

And the issue was that the city building inspectors departments were crooked.

They were taking bribes.

And we had lots of intel about that from the inspector generals for the city of Chicago.
