Wait a minute here -- You're saying that the US military is patent trolling with secure, multiparty chat patents? Can you link to said patents?

  It's not really trolling in this case since they actually use and develop on the technology

    The Ars Technica article on their lawsuit against Apple [1] said they advertised a product on their website but received zero revenue from that product and seemingly didn't have any engineers working on it.

  The person is wrong. It's a private company that has the patent, the company works with the government. I don't know why he implies the government is involved in the patent suit, they are not.

    "It's not too hard to imagine…" isn't exactly the same as saying "It's true that…". I don't have hard evidence, but it's not hard to imagine VirnetX being manipulated behind the scenes by the US government. Similar circumstances have happened in the past.
