The following is a link to a scholarly article that should inform anyone who is interested in conspiracies and how they can work, and, more importantly when they must fail (by the numbers). I hope this proves useful to people who are interested in the subject. With further research it is possible to find similar "optimal size" models for terror cells, espionage operations, cults, and even mundane things like fast food franchises.
