       | It's not that juicy of a target, really. These people are like
       | ghosts since they're involved in law enforcement, and know all
       | the ways people can be doxxed and then harassed based on basic
       | intel. It's like a hacker trying to hack other hackers, it rarely
       | pays off in some meaningful way.

         | bureau.
