RIO DE JANEIRO — Abbott Matthews is an intelligence and security expert with iJet, a risk management company that focuses on travel services. She got to Rio for the Olympics about two weeks before the rest of us, because her job was to talk to people here and find all the aspects of the city that would utterly freak us all out, then tell folks like me about it in a webinar.
She got the freak-out part just right. With details now emerging of the gunpoint robbery of Ryan Lochte, Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen in a taxi early Sunday morning, she deserves a tip of the cap.
