How come? Informants like Sabu have to work very closely with their handlers, these guys probably spent countless hours sitting next to each other, working together as some kind of a team.
It's not like this is an unique story either, Maksym Popov comes to mind.
Like the other commenter said, it's the podcast part that I find funny. A hacker and special agent, natural enemies, becoming BFF'S and making a podcast together sounds like the premise of a Netflix show, hence the Oniony nature of the headline
Yep, all this being a necessary part of establishing an "expert" persona for future TV talking head gigs (and occasional consulting when you find a big enough idiot).

Which is also a pretty standard career move for federal LEOs.
A modernized "Former Navy Seal writes tell-all book"?

IMO that's hilarious, the visual of these gruff, no nonsense guys who probably spent days saying nothing and now they won't shut up lol...
