...avoid the charge of entrapment, agents cannot create their own chat rooms or initiate sexually explicit talk. The suspect "needs to take the first step," says David Knowlton, deputy assistant director of the FBI. "Then we'll talk with him."

When the Republic National Bank sent an investigator out to an address in Queens that some of the Benex funds had been wired to, it found nothing there at all. "We have a company that exists only to collect dollars from Russia for transmission elsewhere," says an investigator. "Who the hell knows who's on the other end of the line...
