The Israeli spy organization, perhaps the best in the world. Among their successes was the illegal kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann from Argentina in 1960.
Profited from the world's most heinous software piracy incident when they received the PROMIS database software from the U.S. Justice Department (the INSLAW case.)
May have tried to recruit Henri Paul, Lady Diana's driver during her fatal automobile accident.
