The first known attack by the group is the downing of flight 197n 1993, killing 247 people. They received some assistance from Conrad Grayson, who laundered money for them without fully knowing what they were planning. Though they planned to let him take the fall for it, they instead agreed to set up DavidClark as the accomplice and had him sent to prison, where he was killed several years later by one of the organization's members, Gordon's Murphy when Conrad put a hit on him. As a result of the bombing, the FAAgranted billions in security contracts with private companies whose stocks quadrupled in value, allowing the Initiative to <u>cash </u>in.

The last known attack is in 2013, causing the complete blackout of <u>New York</u>, temporarily taking out the city's entire power grid and the communication networks with Nolan Ross' invention, Carrion.

They saw an opportunity, however, and managed to pin the blame on Nolan instead.
 
 
It is unknown if they have committed any other similar attacks in the past, though Conrad mentions in "Truth, Part 2" that they have done so and that those attacks left a lot of collateral damage.
 
 
 
 
==Downfall==
 
Apparently Nolan Ross suspected that the Initiative was going to screw him over somewhere down the line. When Edith ' The Falcon ' Lee altered Carrion, Nolan installed a Trojan Horse. In time this failsafe identfied and exposed all members of the Initiative to the authorities therefore proving Nolan's innocence and securing his release.
 
 
During Season 3, it is mentioned that the entire organization of the Initiative have been dismantled and/or imprisoned.

==Information==
 
Though the Initiative's innermost workings are only vaguely known, its existence is apparently known to the public, though it's unclear whether they know that their motives are financial (though it is unlikely since the group has a habit of framing people who had nothing or little to do with the crimes for the acts).
