Verbosity by Mail from NIST

Another part of the package looks like another talk,
which covers Wiretap cases by the FBI and other agencies,
including a summary table for 1982-1991 of State and Federal wiretap
authorizations, arrests, and convictions (there's a footnote that
reporting of convictions seems to substantially lag actual convictions,
though the ration of arrests to convictions has decreased, averaging
2:1 over 10 years, 3:1 recently.) Most wiretaps are State and local, not FBI.
Cases they cited included the usual drug dealing and money laundering,
a judge taking bribes, a Chicago street gang El Rukn proposing to
shoot down an airliner for the Libyans, some Mafiosi, a RICO case
against the Concrete and Cement Workers Union "Prevented economic loss $585Mil",
some fraud in defense contracting and health care contracting, and
the Masters of Disaster "computer hackers" case.
