Many of those computers…
never existed.

The customers were fake.

3/ During the 1990s, Ruffo ran a computer leasing company in New York called CCS.

The business looked legitimate on paper.

But behind the scenes, something massive was happening.

2/ Ruffo didn’t look like a criminal mastermind.

He looked like a normal corporate executive:
• Clean suits
• Calm voice
• Confident attitude

That confidence became his greatest weapon.

They were flying to Chile for a match.

Nobody expected the journey to become a nightmare.

A dangerous person is not someone who talks too much…

It’s someone who observes everything and says nothing.
