Compare with this statement from July about a counterintelligence operation: https://xcancel.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1940116391262118089

You get specific numbers (two arrests and eight search warrants), more specific locations (names of big cities aren't very specific, but they're more specific than a circle 70 miles wide), a specific country running the agents (China), and a specific goal (recruit spies in the US military).

The vague statement about the SIM farms is pretty clearly an attempt to puff up an operation that didn't accomplish much.
