"Black boxes" are devices which unscramble satellite-television transmissions illegally. They allow people to watch encrypted cable programming without paying for it. Chris's boss at the wheat fields, Wayne Westerberg, had been in on a scheme to manufacture and sell these boxes, and was arrested in an FBI sting. Westerberg pleaded guilty to a single felony count, and served a four-month sentence in prison (Chapter 3).
