The Ultimate Trap: Greed Meets Justice
Imagine this: Over 100 dangerous fugitives—murderers, robbers, violent offenders—strolled into a convention center, hearts racing with excitement, dreaming of free Washington Redskins tickets and a shot at Super Bowl glory.

   They wore team jerseys, smiled, chatted about the game… completely unaware that every usher, cheerleader, emcee, and caterer was an undercover cop.
On December 15, 1985, in Operation Flagship, U.S. Marshals and D.C. Police sent fake invitations from “Flagship International Sports Television” to over 3,000 wanted criminals. The lure? Complimentary seats to the big game, brunch, prizes, even a luxury trip to Super Bowl XX. They came willingly—over 100 showed up. Then, in one breathtaking moment, the trap snapped shut: “You’re all under arrest!” Handcuffs clicked, freedom vanished. No chase, no shootouts—just pure, brilliant strategy.

This wasn’t luck. It was genius. These fugitives had dodged capture for years, hiding in shadows. But greed and the promise of “too good to be true” pulled them right into the light. The oldest lesson hits harder than ever: If it sounds impossible… it probably is.
Justice doesn’t always hunt. Sometimes, it invites you in—and you walk straight into its arms.
