To Andreeson, an assignment like this is what he calls a black bag job. The first rule is that the law firms and companies that hire him never learn how he gets his information so that they always have complete, plausible deniability. If anybody is going to have his feet shoved into boiling water, it's going to be Pete, and for what he collects in fees on the big jobs, he figures it's worth the risk. Besides, he gets such personal satisfaction from outsmarting smart people.
