Where the material comes from
The playbook exhibits come from training documents and portal pages collected by Redbull while he was held inside a scam compound, and from files he preserved afterwards. Facts about the compound itself are taken from WIRED’s published reporting and are labelled as such.
Redaction rules
- No names, faces, phone numbers, IDs or account numbers of victims or trafficked workers.
- No names or details of the invented personas used in scripts, because they may match real people.
- Operational details that would help someone run a scam, such as payment routes and laundering steps, are left out.
- Every excerpt names the original file it comes from.
Language
Claims are written as “reported”, “observed” or “appears to be” unless they are directly documented. Individuals are not named as wrongdoers in this phase.
