Summary: <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/JERRI-WILLIAMS-iTUNES.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-758"></a><br> Retired Supervisory Special Agent Jim Wedick served in the FBI for nearly 35 years. In this episode of <a href="http://jerriwilliams.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI Retired Case File Review</a>, Jim talks about his assignment as an undercover agent in the Bureau’s very first long-term undercover investigation. The case, Major Case 1, was captioned OPFOPEN – short for Operation Fountain Pen. The investigation marked a significant shift in FBI priorities and the first time the Bureau operated a sophisticated attack on organized crime networks, financial criminals and con-men using White-Collar Crime violations to prosecute off shore criminal enterprises. The case is the subject of a book, Chasing Phil by David Howard, and will be made in to a feature film. Jim mentions several other notable cases, including bribery case, – dubbed by the California media as “Shrimp Scam” – for which he received the Director’s Award in 1994 and a large Health Care Fraud case he supervised. We acknowledge his wife, retired special agent Nancy Wedick, who teamed up with his on several successful cases.<br> <br> <br> <br> Supervisory Special Agent (Retired)<br> JAMES J.
