AJ was seated in First Class, attractive flight attendants doing
their best to make sure he was comfortable. As he sipped his
welcome cocktail, he was comforted at the knowledge that 24 bags,
filled with currency and incriminating evidence, were safely stowed
away in the bowels of the plane. Customs and airport authorities
had been cooperative, thanks to substantial quantities of
guaranteed black money. On the previous day, an octogenarian
minister and his son, a new Member of Parliament, had gotten word
from one of their moles that the CBI-India's federal investigative
agency-was going to conduct a "surprise" raid. AJ was brought in to
deal with this small problem. The CBI raid and the subsequent
investigation proved to be a futile effort and a waste of taxpayer
money. The CBI found nothing and the politician and his son walked.

planning one of world's most daring heists.
