Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber Highlight

Sullivan wasn’t afraid. After he and his colleagues took down one of the biggest Romanian eBay fraud rings, eBay flew him to Bucharest to testify in court—at his own request. As Sullivan took the stand, he was flanked by two beefy local police guards. Each of them held an AK-47 and wore a jet-black balaclava—a woolen mask that fully covered the face—for fear they would be identified and later killed by the local mafia after the trial. Sullivan, donning his old uniform of suit and tie, delivered hours of testimony that helped put the fraudsters behind bars. He didn’t wear a mask.
