This just in: "Nationwide Sting Operation Targets Illegal Asian Brothels, Six Indicted for Racketeering"

[Artur Dubrawski]

Dear Fellow Autonians,

I am very happy to report that our Traffic Jam software helped identify and
nab a major international organization conducting sex trafficking
activities in multiple countries and multiple states throughout the United
States.

Please see the release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Oregon,
linked below.

Even though neither CMU nor our spinoff Marinus Analytics names are
mentioned in the document, it is a fact that the federal agencies involved
in the process of tracking the indicted perpetrator's activities, as well
as the National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) mentioned in
it, have been using the results of the analyses conducted with our software
to guide their investigations. It turns out that our software triggered the
first alerts of the suspicious activities of this very organization as
early as three years ago. We are very glad that those and other subsequent
findings obtained with Traffic Jam were correct, informative, and that they
ultimately led to the currently announced indictions. Some of the apparent
perpetrators are in custody and they will stand court trials, and so until
convicted they are presumed innocent. We all hope that the potentially
numerous victims, involved in the activities these individuals are being
accused for, will all be rescued and will have a good chance to return to
their normal, safe lives.

Cara and Emily from Marinus Analytics are working with the representatives
of NCFTA to determine if and how this achievement could or should be
publicized more broadly, so please keep the news as internal only until
further notice.

Huge congratulations to the Auton Lab and everyone who contributed to
developing and deploying Traffic Jam!

Cheers,
Artur
