In the biggest cybercrime bust-cum-reality-show premiere of this millennium, INTERPOL’s Operation Red Card 2.0 successfully arrested 651 aspiring cybercriminal ‘stars’ who misunderstood ‘going viral’ as a suggested career path. Law enforcement, cameras rolling, swooped in with the kind of flair that suggested they’d been secretly binge-watching old episodes of ‘Cops’.

This latest installment of the INTERPOL Cinematic Universe reportedly recovered $4.3 million, an amount that could almost cover the catering budget for a small tech startup. The operation involved drama, suspense, and a heist of sorts, though admittedly with far less George Clooney and much more paperwork.

Sources close to the action reveal that the crackdown was staged in 16 African countries, turning once-quiet neighborhoods into live-action set pieces. As INTERPOL’s theatrical trailer dropped, it was evident that the villains were no match for the poorly choreographed but still somehow effective coordination of international law enforcement. While future seasons remain in negotiation, critics agree: Operation Red Card 2.0 is set to be a cult classic among cyber law enforcement enthusiasts.
