@SethAbramson Mueller's had dump's number for awhile I think. Check out a speech he gave in 2011 about the evolving organized crime threat:

@SethAbramson 1/"But the playing field has changed. We have seen a shift from regional families with a clear structure, to flat, fluid networks with global reach. These international enterprises are more anonymous and more sophisticated."
@SethAbramson 2/Rather than running discrete operations, on their own turf, they are running multi-national, multi-billion dollar schemes from start to finish.
@SethAbramson 3/We are investigating groups in Asia, Eastern Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East. And we are seeing cross-pollination between groups that historically have not worked together. Criminals who may never meet, but who share one thing in common: greed.
@SethAbramson 4/They may be former members of nation-state governments, security services, or the military. These individuals know who and what to target, and how best to do it. They are capitalists and entrepreneurs.
@SethAbramson 5/But they are also master criminals who move easily between the licit and illicit worlds. And in some cases, these organizations are as forward-leaning as Fortune 500 companies."
Sounds like dump and his henchman, right?
