The FBI et al are very good at surveillance. I doubt anyone close enough to SBF to be part of a criminal conspiracy would be unknown to the FBI or not under surveillance at this point.

> would be unknown to the FBI

Being _known_ by the FBI doesn’t stop crime or terror attacks. More often than not when something big happens the FBI was already tipped off, an investigation started and then somehow someway the crime/attack/incident still happens.

they are good enough that afik maybe six or so hackers out of hundreds since 2013 or so have been caught. So not so good.
How many of those were conspiring together with a suspect already arrested and in custody?
