They captured one of the distributors for a secure phone company they had already taken down. He was trying to start up his own secure messaging app so they basically funded him, added the backdoors, and used his network to market the new device.

It's not like there is a LinkedIn for international criminals so there's a physical network of trust required and this guy seemed to have had it.
