That group is being financed by Secretary of Defense Wynn Crawford, played by X-FIles vet Mitch Pileggi.
Gibbs and Vance discover that the death is connected to a Star Chamber-esque group of powerful people taking out self-authorized vengeance on various morally wavering people.

Let’s just hope none of the group members wear bat ears and utility belts.
