5:47 a.m. April 3rd, 2026, Houston, Texas. 14 DEA vehicles moved in a synchronized column down McCarty Street. Headlights [music] off, engines at idle. Behind them, eight HSI tactical units held position at the mouth of a loading yard belonging to Meridian Global Freight Solutions LLC. The address had been on a federal watch list for 11 weeks. That morning, it became a target.
Estimated frozen assets across six cities, $61 million. 17 companies, 23 individuals about to be placed in federal custody before sunrise. This was not a single bust. It was the simultaneous collapse of a sanctions network that had been running for years inside the US freight forwarding industry, moving restricted components, marine navigation hardware, and dual-use electronics toward Iranian proxy entities through the cover of legitimate commerce.
The companies had compliance records. They had clients. They had CBP certifications that let their containers bypass secondary inspection at three of the largest ports in the country. That certification had been their greatest asset. It became their most damning liability. The operation had a name inside DEA, Task Force Meridian.
11 weeks of wire tracing, undercover contact, and interagency coordination between DEA, Homeland Security Investigations, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the US Coast Guard. The trigger was not an informant tip or a border seizure. It was a spreadsheet. Three companies, one filing date, a statistical near impossibility that one Treasury analyst almost dismissed as a system glitch. She didn’t dismiss it.
To understand how 17 freight forwarding companies built a sanctions pipeline inside the United States, you have to start with how freight forwarding actually works and why it was the right industry for this. Freight forwarding is, by design, an industry of intermediaries. A freight forwarder does not own the goods it moves.
It does not own the ships, the containers, or the warehouses. It arranges, brokers, and facilitates cargo movement from origin to destination, navigating customs filings, export licenses, classification codes, and carrier contracts on behalf of its clients. A single shipment might touch four different companies before it reaches port.
And the freight forwarder sits exactly where accountability becomes diffuse. This is not a flaw in the system. It is how global trade operates. But it is also why freight forwarding has appeared in federal indictments for sanctions evasion, money laundering, and export control violations with a frequency that keeps OFAC compliance officers busy.
The 17 companies at the center of Task Force Meridian had understood this precisely. They had not built a crude operation. They had built something that looked, from every standard angle of regulatory oversight, like 17 separate, unconnected, legitimately operating freight forwarding businesses. Three were based in Houston, Texas.
Four operated out of Los Angeles. Two maintained offices in Newark, New Jersey, with satellite operations in Miami and Atlanta. The remaining eight were smaller firms spread across Dallas, [music] Seattle, and Chicago. Each filing clean compliance records. Each maintaining active relationships with legitimate cargo clients.
Each cycling real shipments alongside concealed ones at a ratio calibrated to avoid flagging automated risk scoring systems. The actual goods moving through the concealed channel were not crude military hardware. On paper, they were legal industrial components, pressure sensors, frequency oscillators, fiber optic relay modules, marine GPS receiver arrays, signal processing units.
Each category had a dual-use classification under Export Administration Regulations, meaning the same component that belongs in an offshore oil rig navigation system also belongs in a naval targeting interface. The networks brokers had mastered a technique known in compliance circles as commodity reclassification.
They would file initial export paperwork listing components under a commodity classification code that fell below the threshold requiring an export license. Then, after customs processing, submit an amended classification reflecting the actual specification of the goods. By the time the amended filing reached a reviewer’s desk, the shipment was already in transit.
This worked because of the gap between the speed of global shipping and the speed of federal paperwork review. And it had been working undetected for a long time. The components were not going directly to Iran. The network was more careful than that. Shipments were routed first to shell entities in Oman and the United Arab Emirates, companies with clean trade records and no direct connection to sanctioned entities.
From there, second-tier brokers moved goods onward through a combination of maritime and air freight with final delivery to Iranian proxy networks operating through front companies in Turkey and Malaysia. Each transfer added distance between the US export filing and the ultimate end user. It was, by design, a system built to be invisible.
The investigation did not begin with a surveillance operation, an informant tip, a port seizure, or a lead from a foreign intelligence partner. It began at 10:14 a.m. on February 2nd, 2026, when a Treasury OFAC compliance analyst named Sarah Morrow was running routine batch processing on commodity reclassification filings submitted during the previous quarter.
Morrow had been with OFAC for 6 years. Her job was not glamorous. She reviewed flagged filings, ran statistical consistency checks on amendment patterns, and produced quarterly compliance reports that were read by three people and filed in a shared drive. On most days, the flagging algorithm caught what needed catching.
On most days, Morrow reviewed the flags, cleared the clerical errors, and escalated the ones that weren’t. On February 2nd, the algorithm had not flagged anything unusual. Morrow flagged it herself. She had been cross-referencing amendment filing timestamps, routine practice for spotting coordinated filing patterns, when she noticed that three separate companies had submitted near-identical commodity reclassification requests within a 47-minute window on the same morning.
The companies were registered in different states. They had different ownership structures, different EIN numbers, different operating addresses. According to every piece of public record, they were unrelated. But the reclassification requests were not just similar. They used identical language in two of the three description fields.
The commodity codes were the same. The amendment justifications were phrased with a specificity that Morrow recognized, not a standard compliance boilerplate, but as language deliberately to meet a specific technical threshold. Three unrelated companies do not independently produce the same compliance language on the same morning.
That does not happen by coincidence. Morrow documented her observation in an internal memo, attached the three filing records, and escalated to her supervisor. By the following morning, the memo was in front of an OFAC enforcement analyst. By the end of the week, it had been transmitted to DEA’s financial crimes unit and HSI’s export enforcement division.
The joint task force was authorized within 10 days. The task force initially identified three companies as the core of the network: Meridian Global Freight Solutions in Houston, Pacific Corridor Logistics in Los Angeles, [music] and Atlantic Trade Bridge LLC in Newark. These were the three firms whose filings had triggered Morrow’s analysis.
11 weeks of financial investigation expanded that number to 17. The wire transfer analysis was conducted through a specialized HSI financial crimes unit working with FinCEN. The transfers were not moving in obvious patterns, not large round number wires. They moved as vendor payments, consulting fees, logistics invoicing, and charter fees, all documented with legitimate looking supporting paperwork.
The amounts were sized carefully, large enough to move real money, small enough to avoid automatic suspicious activity report triggers at the correspondent bank level. The route was layered. Payments from the US-based freight companies moved first to Maltese correspondent banking accounts, institutions providing correspondent services to a range of international trade finance clients.
None of them individually a red flag. From Malta, funds moved to Georgian banking institutions operating under looser cross-border transaction reporting requirements. From Georgia, the money split across multiple accounts in UAE-registered entities before consolidating into payments to the Oman-based shell companies that served as the penultimate node.
The task force traced this structure over 7 weeks. The financial layer broke open when HSI analysts identified a recurring payment pattern between a Dubai-registered logistics consulting firm and one of the Oman shells, a pattern inconsistent with the invoicing schedule, but perfectly aligned with the commodity shipment calendar.
That consulting firm had a name, College Maritime Advisory FZCO. College Maritime Advisory was not on any sanctions list. It was not flagged in any existing enforcement database. On paper, it was a small UAE-registered trade advisory firm with a standard registration and a website listing three employees.
The task force needed to know who controlled it. And they needed to know without tipping off the network. That was when HSI brought in an undercover agent. The agent was given the cover identity of a Dubai-based logistics broker running a mid-size freight forwarding operation out of the Jebel Ali Free Zone. The cover had been used in previous operations and maintained with operational detail.
A website, a registration record, a LinkedIn profile with connection history, and email communication trails that could survive basic due diligence. The approach to the network came through a third-party contact, a legitimate freight broker in Miami who had done business with one of the 17 companies and was cooperating with the task force.
The Miami broker introduced the HSI agent under his cover identity to a contact at Pacific Corridor Logistics in Los Angeles. First contact was by email in late February 2026. The subject line was routine, an inquiry about FTZ warehousing capacity for a client moving marine electronics from Southeast Asia. Pacific Corridor responded within 2 hours, professional, detailed, no indication of anything beyond a standard freight inquiry.
Over the following 3 weeks, the undercover agent exchanged a dozen communications with Pacific Corridor, gradually building a transactional relationship. The cover story was designed to be attractive, a mid-size Dubai broker with a client base that included several UAE-registered trading firms moving high-value electronics with irregular shipment schedules and a preference for minimal documentation.
That last detail, minimal documentation, was a deliberate signal. The network’s coordinators had been careful. They did not respond to every signal. But on March 9th, 2026, the undercover agent received an email from a name that had not appeared in any previous communication. The name was Faris Al Rashidi. The email address was registered to a UAE domain.
The message was brief. He was visiting Houston the following week and would like to meet in person to discuss a more structured partnership arrangement. The task force read that email within 40 minutes. By the end of the day, they had authorized a face-to-face undercover operation. The meeting took place on March 16th, 2026 at a hotel restaurant in the Energy Corridor district of Houston.
Al Rashidi arrived alone. He was in his early 40s, well-dressed, and spoke with the measured precision of someone accustomed to conducting sensitive conversations in professional settings. The undercover agent arrived with a specific client request as cover, a cargo of fiber optic signal relay components, 12 shipments over 6 months, documentation requirements flexible.
The client, the agent explained, preferred routes with minimal secondary inspection exposure. Al Rashidi did not commit immediately. He asked questions about the agent’s existing client relationships, about the nature of the relay components, about the agent’s familiarity with Oman-based clearing agents.
The questions were precise enough to confirm that Al Rashidi understood the compliance landscape around dual-use electronics. He was not a peripheral figure. The conversation lasted 90 minutes. At the end of it, Al Rashidi made a statement the task force had not anticipated. He told the undercover agent that the network currently operated through 17 accredited companies, but that two additional firms were in the process of obtaining CBP trusted shipper certification and would be operational within 90 days.
He did not name them. He said only that they would significantly expand throughput capacity for the kind of arrangement being discussed. The task force had been tracking 17 nodes. Al Rashidi had just confirmed 19. Two companies not yet on the radar, not yet operational, but already being positioned inside the CBP certification process, which meant that once certified, their containers would bypass secondary inspection, the same as the others.
The undercover agent asked a follow-up question about the two new firms. Al Rashidi smiled and said they would discuss that at a later meeting. There was no later meeting. I spent time going through the court filings on this case and one detail kept pulling my attention back. Al Rashidi’s phrase, “significantly expand throughput capacity”, is not the language of someone running a small side operation.
That is logistics planning language. That is someone who expected this network to grow. This was not a scheme built for short-term profit. It was built for scale. The task force absorbed Al Rashidi’s disclosure and made a decision. No second undercover cover meeting. The risk of tipping off the broader network was too high.
11 weeks of financial mapping combined with the March 16th conversation was sufficient for federal warrants. The operation would move to enforcement. The question was timing. The network had 14 shipping containers in active transit as of late March 2026. Several were already past US territorial waters. Task force commanders faced a choice.
Move immediately and attempt to intercept containers already at sea or wait for a logistical window that would allow simultaneous arrests on land and interdictions at sea. USCG coordination resolved it. USCG 7th District confirmed they could divert two vessels and coordinate with container ship operators to facilitate rerouting of the targeted containers if the task force provided manifest data within 48 hours.
The task force provided the manifest data. Arrest operations were scheduled for April 3rd, 2026. Here’s the part that doesn’t make sense on the surface. Three of these companies held active CBP Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism certifications. What the industry calls C-TPAT or trusted shipper status. That certification is not easy to obtain.
It requires a detailed supply chain security review, documented internal compliance protocols, and a track record of clean filings. CBP does not hand it out casually. And yet three of the 17 companies had it, which means their containers had been passing through [music] US ports without secondary inspection for an indeterminate period before this investigation began.
The question that doesn’t have a clean answer is how long. The investigation established 11 weeks of confirmed activity. The financial trail suggested the network had been operational in some form considerably longer, potentially since early 2024. The reclassification filing technique was refined. The correspondent banking route was layered and mature.
These are not the features of an operation in its first year. What’s most surprising about this case isn’t the scale of the sanctions evasion. It’s that the mechanism that cracked it open was not a sophisticated intelligence operation. It was one analyst noticing that three companies had used identical language on the same morning.
The network survived routine automated screening for years. It was not caught by an algorithm. It was caught by a human being paying attention. The first major obstacle surfaced in mid-March, three weeks before the scheduled raids. The task force’s financial mapping had identified a pattern of wire transfers through a Maltese correspondent bank.
When HSI issued a formal legal assistance request to Maltese financial authorities for account records, the response came back with a significant gap. One of the three account clusters they had identified could not be confirmed from the Maltese end. The institution claimed no record of transactions matching the dates and amounts in the HSI request.
Two possibilities: either the Maltese data was wrong, a transcription error in the original intelligence, which would undermine the financial chain, or the transactions had moved through a different institutional mechanism that HSI analysts had not yet identified. They had 14 days before the planned raid authorization was due for judicial review.
The resolution came from an unexpected direction. FinCEN’s automated transaction monitoring database, re-queried with adjusted parameters reflecting a three-day window shift, matched the transactions to a second Maltese institution, a smaller correspondent bank that had been using the first institution’s SWIFT identifier for a subset of clearing operations.
An obscure compliance arrangement that was technically permissible, but rarely encountered in enforcement investigations. The gap was resolved. The financial chain held. Judicial authorization was filed on March 28th, 2026. Unpopular opinion. The three companies that held CTPAT Trusted Shipper certifications should not be treated as passive beneficiaries of a system failure.
The certification process involves ongoing compliance documentation, annual self-assessments, periodic CBP validation reviews, supply chain security planning. Someone inside those companies was actively maintaining the appearance of compliance, while simultaneously routing restricted goods through a sanctions pipeline. That is not a compliance gap.
That is sustained, deliberate, institutional fraud. The sentences in this case should reflect that distinction, and if they don’t, that’s worth examining carefully. April 3rd, 2026, arrived under overcast skies across all six target cities. The operational plan had been coordinated across DEA, HSI, and six different US Attorney’s Offices over 10 days.
71 federal agents were deployed across the simultaneous operations. Strike teams were divided by location: Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, Dallas, Seattle, and Chicago. Each team had a designated lead, a designated backup entry point, and a communications protocol requiring real-time status reporting to a joint operations center at DEA’s Houston Field Office.
At 5:47 a.m. Central Time, Houston went first. 14 DEA vehicles moved on McCarty Street toward the Meridian Global Freight Solutions warehouse facility. Six HSI agents covered the rear access point. Three additional agents were positioned at the adjacent office building where Meridian’s administrative staff were expected to arrive within the next 2 hours.
[music] The warehouse was accessed through a side loading dock. The outer door was unlocked, a detail that briefly raised tactical concern, quickly resolved when the forward team confirmed by camera that no personnel were inside and the door had been left on its standard overnight setting. Inside Meridian’s facility, four active shipping containers staged for outbound transport, 12 pallets of packaged freight in various stages of documentation processing, and a server rack containing the company’s operational filing system. The server
rack was photographed, documented, and secured for forensic imaging before any files were accessed. The first arrest at the Houston location came at 6:03 a.m. A warehouse supervisor who arrived early pulled into the parking lot and found himself surrounded by federal agents before he had turned off his engine.
In Los Angeles, the Pacific Corridor Logistics operation ran into a different set of complications. The company occupied a commercial suite on the fourth floor of a freight brokerage building near the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. HSI’s Los Angeles team had initially planned to execute the warrant during business hours, a judgment call based on intelligence suggesting target personnel arrived between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m.
At 5:20 a.m. Pacific time, a surveillance unit positioned outside the building reported unexpected activity. Two vehicles had arrived at the underground parking structure and four individuals had entered the building. The team had 40 minutes before the building’s security systems would be staffed. They moved the operation forward.
The Pacific Corridor offices were accessed at 5:51 a.m. Pacific time. Two of the four individuals who had arrived early were administrative staff with no apparent knowledge of the sanctions operation. They had come in to prepare for a client audit. The other two were principals of the company. Both were placed under arrest before they reached their offices.
On a desk in the principal’s office, agents found a laptop open to an email thread. The thread was in Arabic and Farsi. It had been opened that morning. The content of that thread would later become exhibit material in the federal indictment. What was in that thread and who had sent the most recent message would not become fully clear for another 3 weeks of forensic analysis.
In Newark, the Atlantic Trade Bridge operation proceeded as planned. Three individuals were arrested at the company’s registered office address. A fourth, the company’s listed director of operations, a man named Kaveh Shirazi, was not present. His apartment, where a second search warrant had been executed simultaneously, was empty.
Shirazi had not been at his apartment. His car was still in the building’s parking structure. His phone was on the kitchen counter, powered down. The task force had accounted for the possibility of one or more individuals receiving prior warning. They had not been able to confirm whether any network members had been tipped off.
Shirazi’s absence suggested at least one person had known what was coming. How he knew and who told him remained an open question as the other operations concluded. Put yourself in the position of the HSI agent managing Newark at 6:30 a.m. receiving confirmation that Shirazi was not in either location. Every other operation was delivering arrests.
Newark had a gap. The decision, expand the search radius immediately or secure the existing location and let the fugitive case run separately. The decision was made to secure and document. The Newark office yielded substantial documentary evidence regardless of Shirazi’s absence. His fugitive status would become a separate federal matter.
In Dallas, the strike team executed warrants on two companies operating from the same business park, a detailed the task force had identified during financial mapping, where the two entities shared a common accounting firm and a common courier service despite having no disclosed relationship. Both operations concluded without incident.
Four arrests in Dallas. In Seattle, one of the targeted companies, a small freight brokerage operating out of a commercial unit in the SODO district, yielded no personnel at time of entry. The business had apparently ceased active operations in the prior week. Whether that cessation was related to awareness of the investigation or coincidental was documented but not immediately resolved.
The Seattle warrant produced document and digital evidence. In Chicago, the final simultaneous operation resulted in three arrests and the seizure of a physical ledger, handwritten, kept in a private safe inside a locked office, that documented a scheduling system for the commodity reclassification amendments. The ledger used coded shorthand for company names and commodity categories.
It took forensic accountants four days to decode it fully. When they did, it confirmed the involvement of all 17 network nodes and provided a scheduling history extending back to March 2024. The operation triggered by one analyst noticing three filings on the same morning had been running for over two years.
The maritime interdiction ran parallel to the land operations. USCG 7th District had coordinated with three container ship operators whose vessels were carrying the 14 flag shipments. The rerouting requests had been made through formal maritime regulatory authority. Seven of the 14 containers were successfully rerouted to US ports for inspection before the April 3 raids began.
A coordination operation that required 48 hours of logistical management and the temporary rerouting of two SCG cutters from their standard patrol assignments. The remaining seven containers presented a more complex picture. Two were on vessels operating under flags of convenience registered in Panama and rerouting negotiations with those ship operators required additional diplomatic coordination that delayed resolution by 4 days.
Three containers had already reached transit ports in Oman and UAE outside US jurisdictional [music] reach. The contents of those three containers were documented but not recovered. Two containers were, at the time of the raids, in transit between the UAE and a Turkish port. The goods inside them have not been publicly accounted for.
The 14 containers referenced in the initial operation summary were those the task force had confidence in identifying. The network’s full logistics history, as reconstructed from the Chicago ledger and the digital forensics from other locations, suggested a substantially higher volume of historical shipments. The total number of containers that had moved through the network since March 2024 was estimated at several hundred.
The precise figure has not been publicly released. The financial picture clarified over the weeks following April 3. The $61 million in frozen assets represented funds identified across domestic bank accounts held by the 17 companies and their principals, as well as funds intercepted in transit through the Maltese and Georgian correspondent banking chain at the moment of the raids.
The Treasury coordination required to freeze international account balances simultaneously with the US-based arrests had been one of the more complex elements of the operational planning. A single premature freeze in any one jurisdiction could have prompted fund movement in others. The simultaneous freeze held across all accessible accounts.
The Oman-based shell entities were not subject to direct US asset freezing authority. Coordination requests through Treasury’s international channels were transmitted, but the status of funds held in Omani accounts at the time of the raids has not been confirmed. The $61 million figure is the confirmed domestic seizure.
The total value of assets associated with the network, including the Oman and UAE components, is not a public number. We spent weeks going through the publicly available elements of this case, and one detail stuck. Feras Al Rasheedi, the man the undercover agent met in Houston on March 16, was not among the 23 individuals arrested on April 3rd.
Al Rasheedi had left the United States on March 22nd, 2026, 6 days after the Houston meeting. He flew from George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Dubai on a UAE national passport. By the time arrest warrants were being processed in late March, Al Rasheedi was outside US jurisdiction. He has been indicted in absentia.
An Interpol red notice was issued in April 2026. As of the time this account was assembled, Al Rasheedi had not been located. The man who confirmed the existence of two additional network companies in development, two firms that would have expanded the sanctions pipeline before being caught, is still out there.
The two additional companies Al Rasheedi mentioned on March 16, were identified through forensic analysis of his email communications accessed from devices seized during the operations. Both were in the final stages of the CBP CTPAT certification process. One had submitted its initial application in January 2026.
The other had completed a validation review in February. CBP suspended both applications immediately upon notification from the task force. Neither company had yet received certification. The network had been building its next generation of trusted shipper cover before the current generation had been dismantled. 23 individuals were formally charged across six federal districts.
The charges included violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, conspiracy to violate the Export Administration Regulations, bank fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Kaveh Shirazi, the Atlantic Trade Bridge director who had not been present at his Newark office or his apartment on April 3, remains a federal fugitive.
His last confirmed location, based on cell tower data from before his phone was powered down, was a bus station in Newark at 3:15 a.m. on April 3. He had left his apartment approximately 2 and 1/2 hours before federal agents arrived. The task force has not publicly stated how Shirazi received advanced warning. Whether the leak came from within the operation itself, from a court filing, a cooperating witness, or an inadvertent signal in the banking freeze process, has not been confirmed in public filings. What do you think? Did someone
inside the federal coordination chain tip off Shirazi? Or was his departure in the early morning hours of April 3 a coincidence that looks worse than it is? That question matters more than it might seem. The forensic analysis of the Pacific Corridor laptop, found open on the principal’s desk in Los Angeles, [music] resolved one of the case’s central puzzles in early April.
The email thread on that screen had been opened by one of the two principals arrested that morning. The thread, once translated and analyzed, showed a communication between the principal and a contact in Tehran. Not an Iranian government official, not a named ERG’s figure, but a logistics coordinator whose email address matched a domain flagged by Israeli intelligence in a 2024 sharing package with US counterparts.
That flagged domain had been in a US intelligence database. It had not been in the freight forwarding compliance database. The gap between what US intelligence knew and what US export enforcement was screening for had been a functional exploit. The network’s operators had identified it and used it. Whether that gap has since been closed is not a matter of public record.
Here’s what this tells us about the enforcement architecture in place before Task Force Meridian. The network operated successfully at scale for over 2 years. It obtained trusted shipper certifications for three of its companies. It moved hundreds of containers. It survived routine screening across multiple federal agencies simultaneously.
It was caught by one human analyst noticing a statistical anomaly in a filing timestamp. That is not a story about a system that was working. That is a story about how close a well-constructed sanctions evasion network can come to being permanently invisible. The three CBP C-TPAT certifications have been revoked.
The certification review process has reportedly been under internal review since April. Whether that review will produce structural changes to the vetting process is not confirmed. Will networks of this complexity appear again within the next five years? Comment yes or no, because based on the structure of what was built here, that’s not a rhetorical question.
The 23 individuals arrested on April 3rd face federal charges with sentencing exposure ranging from 5 to 20 years, depending on the specific counts. Plea negotiations in several cases were ongoing as of the last publicly available court filings. No sentencing dates have been set. The two companies blocked from receiving CBP certification are the subject of separate civil forfeiture proceedings.
Both remain in legal limbo. Their owners charged, their certification suspended, their accounts frozen. The Oman-based shell entities, the penultimate node in the logistics chain, have not been the subject of any publicly confirmed enforcement action. The UAE-registered entities have similarly not appeared in any public enforcement record.
The international components of the network remain largely unaddressed. The 13 containers that reached transit ports or were already in Turkish waters on April 3rd, and the goods inside them, have not been publicly accounted for. Faris al-Rasheedi, who oversaw network coordination and described two additional companies in development to an undercover federal agent in Houston, is somewhere.
He has not been brought into custody under any publicly confirmed proceeding. The Interpol red notice is active. The warrant is outstanding. The 17 company network is dismantled. The demand for the components it moved has not changed. The infrastructure of correspondent banking routes, shell entity structures, and dual-use commodity reclassification techniques that the network developed over 2 years is documented in federal case files.
Documentation is not the same as destruction. If you’re following federal enforcement operations in the sanctions space, subscribe. The next case in this series covers a parallel export evasion structure operating out of the Pacific Northwest, and it has a detail that connects to the Pacific Corridor operation in a way that wasn’t in any of the initial press releases.
The network is gone. The people who built it understood exactly how to build it, and some of them are still out there.
