The ability to be able to interrupt a television broadcast back then would have taken a very powerful microwave transmitter. The same happened in Chicago with the "Max Headroom" prank. A lot of money would have had to been spent to acquire such pirating technology.
Remember Yoda crumb from Q, and then Scott Schools resigns?
Who was "Yoda"?
"Yoda" was David Margolis.
"For years, Schools worked alongside another Justice Department mainstay, David Margolis, who was known as the "Yoda" of the department. When Margolis died, DOJ brass asked Schools to come back to Washington to try to fill those shoes."

Now, David Margolis died in 2016. So what relevance does Margolis play here?

From the above article, it states that Margolis looked into high level cases such as Vince Foster's "suicide":
"In recent decades he was in the middle of many of the Justice Department’s biggest mobster, political corruption, espionage and terrorism investigations. He often examined high-level cases in which the government’s own conduct was called into question, including the suicide of the Clinton White House aide Vince Foster in 1993, the leaking of the C.I.A. agent Valerie Plame’s name in 2003, and the botched corruption prosecution of Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska in 2008."
Margolis was the RICO chief investigator, but he's dead. So, who took over the mantel of RICO investigations?
PAUL E. COFFEY
Very little can be found on the internet on Mr. Coffey even though he took over Margolis' job. But this is for certain, he is an expert on RICO and has a paper on it available through Notre Dame.
