ICE has now been to the same little shop where I live multiple times. it’s just a place where poor people buy stuff. Beyond belief that going there at random hours is part of some specific targeted operation. Just showing up on a fishing trip.

In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, it's mentioned that Cardassian mystery novels operate on the premise that EVERYONE is guilty, and the mystery—revealed in clues throughout the text—is who is guilty of what.
I believe that is the only valid way to approach billionaires.
