“Some people collect cars,” Fieldly says. “That’s not his M.O.—Carl collects businesses.”

It means "modus operandi", a holdover phrase from Latin which means literally "mode of operation". A person's M.O. describes their habits and typical routines and behaviors.

Specifically it is a legal phrase, refering to the way that criminal commits crimes, which can be used as evidence that the same person committed a series or crimes.– James KApr 15, 2021 at 7:41
