Who says they are all in on it?
And media has held back articles several times due to govt request - maybe this one just got through.
Not saying I'm right - only saying it's possible.

And along with that would be a dozen aides or delegates to these professionals that would be very familiar with the investigation. It would be obvious if the results were opposite what Cook said publicly, or if the investigation was suddenly stopped and made inconclusive. Apple would also be counting on the US government and Bloomberg to not leak "the truth" so that Tim Cook's statement would not be revealed as a lie. The idea offers intrigue but doesn't pass any kind of reasonable pass of consideration.

- bredren 6y agoI think in your idea, the exploit is real and known by LE and Bloomberg. However, Apple was not able to find this out, even though it was real. Is that the case? If so, it would suggest the FBI is allowing Apple to unknowingly use compromised systems?
