BEg2 chapter 14

[Michael Bailey]

HTML acronymized into He’s Taking More Lithium, so, inferentially, he’s
crazy.

Traipse and Felix Boingeaux were hired as a team* to create Web pages
holding encrypted data and not findable by search engines - this could be
the deep web Hashslingrz financial info that Eric Outfield had found for
Maxine? Or something similar?
Or something even more shady?

It’s the encrypted data that he doesn’t know how to read.

* Ice  didn’t want his in-house people knowing about it. These would
include the script kiddies he’d entrapped - so they might be able to read
more encryption than Traipse & Boingeaux & hence more risky.

And/or he wanted to draw Traipse and Boingeaux into his web of intrigue by
employing them?

[Personal Note: Lester says: “Old-school HTML pages, in this case
‘He’s taking more Lithium,’ everything encrypted, nothin any of us
knew how to read.” I confess, this has me puzzled. Why the Lithium
comment? What didn’t Lester know how to read? Was that the Arabic
LEET?]
