Criminals and intel services using a criminal network? News at 11.

The Secret Service is really trying to make hay out of these things being close to UN, but so are millions of other things in the New York City Metro Area. Either they have intelligence they aren't disclosing or someone's try to put a lot of spin on this crime bust.

If state actor propaganda botfarms operate in this fashion in other cities, we can try to find more of these patterns. Would be interesting to see a drop in youtube, reddit or facebook user activity correlated with such bust.
