It is always helpful for these to happen but I want to explain to everyone what you are seeing with these "John stings" These guys are the lowest hanging fruit of all. These "John Stings" have been going on in cities for decades. Remember "to catch a predator"

The real traffickers are not caught in these stings. They do not use the known types of communication listed. This is all done through the dark web and other ways. Sad but true. Unless the FBI is empowered to turn on itself and politicians no big guys will go down this way.

Edit: Just to drive in the succinct point when you here "John" or "sting" or "Operation" before anything you are getting a light cover story trying to appease the masses.
