125 bring up the boat incident: Ibid., at 30.

125 one call center manager said: This call center manager, who requested anonymity out of fear of retribution from Le Roux, worked for the organization in Israel and the Philippines.

126 deputy named Nestor Del Rosario: I spoke to a number of people who were directly familiar with Del Rosario's role, including a Filipino colleague who requested anonymity for fear of Le Roux (I learned Le Roux had once put out a hit on this colleague, as well as on Del Rosario); a call center manager for whom Del Rosario was a mentor and confidant; Felix Klaussen, who was aware of his role; and Kent Bailey and another former DEA agent familiar with Del Rosario's role. His name also appears in court documents in the Philippines, as noted in the text. I was unable to locate Del Rosario, who I was told was in hiding from Le Roux. He did not respond to an interview request through the colleague.

126 a guy from HR named Ogie: I was never able to discover Ogie's full name—colleagues believed that Ogie itself was a nickname—and a former DEA agent told me that he died of natural causes. He, along with Del Rosario, were both Filipinos from the straight world who were brought into Le Roux's orbit and ultimately became significant players in his criminal empire.
