One of David Lopez’s WatersMark business partners is a man named Jacob Collins, who runs a company called Covert Intelligence Service. Though the company’s website has been almost entirely scrubbed, a link to a recruitment letter from the company dated 2014 still exists via Collins’ LinkedIn profile. The letter describes something called the Covert Intelligence Society, and purports to be “a private membership of intelligent, innovative thought leaders. Society members are trained by former CIA case officers in the art of clandestine service to enhance their business and daily lives.”
The selling points in CIS’ letter target a demographic one can only imagine as being listless due to too much power:

“When the status quo is worse than death. When travel to exotic places should be for a purpose. When making money was never your endgame. When more expensive toys is just tacky. When measuring the full distance of your potential is a must. When life should be a true adventure.”

As described in a Forbes article from 2014, CIS “allows private citizens to pay to be trained by elite operatives,” including “a network of former CIA covert operators, NSA, MI6, Delta Force, KGB, FBI Special Agents, US Customs Special Agents, Navy Seals, Forensic Accountants and International Law Enforcement Professionals.”

For a cool $100,000 dollars you can pay to receive training by top level intelligence officers from around the world to become a spy agent. For $250,000 you can train to become an officer, because when excessive wealth no longer fulfills you, and when buying “more expensive toys” is starting to feel “just tacky,” why not pay a quarter million dollars to find new meaning in life by joining an elite society of spies?

This is just a small sample of the skills CIS offers to teach its members. Here’s a full list:
“Source Management Skill, Source Networking Techniques, Bump, Source Development, Recruiting a Source, Intelligence Skills, Intelligence Analysis, Offensive and Defensive Counterintelligence, Maintain a Cover, Defend a Cover, Lock Picking, Escaping Restraints (Rope, Handcuffs, Flexi Cuffs, Zip Ties, etc.), Hotwire a Vehicle, Covert Vehicle Entry, Improvised Weapons, Defensive Firearms Training, Clandestine Tools of the Trade, Covert Gadgets, Weapon Disarming, Rappelling, Helocasting, Clandestine Meetings, Brush Pass, Dead Drops, Car Pick-Up Meetings, Clandestine Communication, Concealment Devices, Termination of a Source, Interrogation Resistance Techniques, Hostage Survival, Human Targeting.
