The Takedown of a $100M Chinese Software Pirate

Digital pirates overseas steal and resell hundreds of billions of dollars in American intellectual property each year.

On a website called CRACK99, Xiang Li sold everything from satellite tracking and aviation simulation to communications systems design software for mere pennies on the dollar. When federal prosecutor and former U.S. Navy intelligence officer David Locke Hall and his team started buying CRACK99’s products, the hunt for this elusive pirate began. David Locke Hall brings us inside the dark side of cybercrime, the most successful software piracy sting and the chilling consequences for national security today.
