- "Ambush. They were everywhere."
"Do you have status on anyone?"
"Two agents in surgery now. We lost five for this shitbag." - ―Benjamin Poindexter, Ray Nadeem and O'Connor[src]
The Ambush on the FBI Convoy was a failed attack by the Albanian Syndicate in an attempt to exact vengeance against Wilson Fisk.
Background[]
- "Fisk's imprisonment would continue at a private location under the constant supervision of the FBI."
"That's house incarceration, usually reserved for white-collar criminals awaiting trial." - ―Tammy Hattley and Chris DiMolina[src]
Ray Nadeem was assigned to confront Wilson Fisk in order to check on activities. Nadeem was completely inured with his job not being picked up to something better and have cases that were accomplished. Fisk noticed his infliction and decided to make a deal with him that he could give away the Albanian Syndicate's locations in order to shorten his time in Rikers Island.
Nadeem agreed and brought the case towards the FBI and completed the case of the Albanian Syndicate by infiltrating them in one of their mansions. Nadeem was congratulated for his actions and decided to go on and keep confronting Fisk while secretly getting cases from him. While in prison, Fisk was stabbed by Jasper Evans for snitching one of the mobs but was mercifully beaten by Fisk and nearly killed him.
Nadeem met Fisk inside his cell and demanded more in his cases against the Albanians, however, Fisk wanted to leave prison in order to survive to which Nadeem had no choice but keep him away from prison. Nadeem proposed an idea of incarcerating Fisk in the Presidential Hotel in order to let him talk about the loose criminals that are getting away from federal crimes. Chris DiMolina disagreed with such a proposal but Nadeem persuaded him into making him accept the deal. Blake Tower decided to agree alongside him as well and let Fisk out of his cell.[3]
Ambush[]
Wilson Fisk is guarded by FBI
- "Stay in the car!"
- ―FBI Agent to Wilson Fisk[src]
Wilson Fisk was guarded outside of the FBI agents led by Ray Nadeem and walked down into the convoy. Fisk was taken into the streets and talked to Nadeem about the implications of prison being something that you could escape but love is a perfect prison that makes a person completely appalled. Suddenly, an explosion had abrupt the convoy from the front and behind the convoys that were lined up and both Nadeem and Fisk were incapacitated for a short amount of time.
Wilson Fisk is found by the Albanian Syndicate
Fisk woke up and screamed at Nadeem to wake up before the Albanian Syndicate would hunt him down. FBI agents tried to shoot down the Albanian Syndicate but were killed before they get to protect Fisk from the convoy. Fisk was scared that he would be assassinated by the mob and tried to break off his handcuffs from the ceilings and hide. The mob found Fisk inside the convoy and shoot at him with their guns, however, once the bulletproof glass windows withstand the bullets, one of them tried to saw off the windows in order to get through. The mob was berated by an FBI agent, Benjamin Poindexter and killed all the members that approached over the convoy.
Benjamin Poindexter apprehends Wilson Fisk
Poindexter went into cover and aimed his gun at multiple Albanians by shooting bullets into objects and letting them bounce off and go through them. As a few mob members tried to run away from Poindexter, they were shot down. The remaining Albanians surrendered to Poindexter and tried to remain calm but were both shots in the head afterward. Poindexter reloaded his gun but heard a couple of Albanians sneaking up to him and decided to throw two gun magazines toward the men's throat, resulting in them getting killed. Fisk noticed Poindexter's skills and was impressed by his focus on killing his enemies. Fisk opened the door inside the car and opened his hands in surrender as Poindexter held a gun from one of the dead agents and apprehended Fisk from the scene.[3]

The New York Bulletin reports on Benjamin Poindexter being investigated
- "Due to an anonymous tip this paper has exclusively received, the FBI have launched an internal investigation into the Wilson Fisk motorcade shootout. The agent under investigation is Special Agent Ben Poindexter. SA Poindexter's conduct in the shootout, including the use of lethal force, is connected with a wrongful shooting that left several dead."
- ―New York Bulletin[src]
The FBI brought Wilson Fisk to the Presidential Hotel and released him from his handcuffs. The FBI put Fisk under surveillance and closely watched his every move. Once Fisk was inside his house, numerous news reports had now made statements that Fisk had been released from Rikers Island.[4]
Later, the Office of Professional Responsibility reviewed Benjamin Poindexter's reports about the motorcade attack and found inconsistencies that did not align with the forensic analysis. Suspecting that Poindexter might have violated the FBI guidelines, the OPR launched an internal investigation on Poindexter, dispatching Winn to the Presidential Hotel. Winn and Tammy Hattley interrogated Fisk about the exact details about the attack, however, Fisk testified that Poindexter killed the Albanian Syndicate members in self-defense, supporting Poindexter's claims.[5] Information about the investigation had been leaked to the media outlets such as the New York Bulletin, which led to the FBI placing Poindexter on suspension.[6]
