49 - THE OCTOPUS 3: Danger Man
🕑 Added 2022-08-29 06:32:51 +0000 UTCDanny's pursuit of the Octopus brings him into contact with a geek burnout and spook fixer called Michael Riconosciuto. Riconosciuto is an operative of some kind (we think), and he has a lot to tell Danny about about software hacking, CIA ops, UFOs, bioweapons and gun deals in the desert. Casolaro is intoxicated, but following Rico's leads and trying to untangle truth and fantasy mires him even deeper in a bizarre underworld of rogue spies, gangsters and corrupt politicians. We also discuss the early spread of the stolen PROMIS software and consider how it might have been bugged and what its utility might have been.

Listening to this after the Mossad’s recent “shenanigans” with pagers and handheld radios, it makes the idea of supply chain interception and tampering seem all the more plausible in terms of bugged hardware.

Obstetricians make a ton of money, especially if they're doing a lot of surgeries, and the cost of living in the 80s was very low. I don't buy this theory that Danny's lifestyle was funded by anyone other than his family.

Maybe joining nato meant u had to have some computer program that linked each nation and promise was hidden in that program.

According to netflix show rico went back in 2017 for not showing up at his parole hearing - not a meth charge.

I get the vibe Rico was likely scouted early but was more asset than agent, someone who could have disinfo laundered through so you could trace a stories spread

These are amazing! Found my way here from death is just around the corner. Fingers crossed you two are able to have a cross episode one day.
