Imagine having a knock on your door because you exchanged a few friendly text messages 15 years ago with someone who is being investigated for a crime committed

  Something like this happened to a friend of mine. He was using a work-allocated phone. He didn't directly get contacted by authorities, but someone at the company tipped him off that they had been contacted. Turns out the phone number he was assigned had previously belonged to a drug kingpin's burner phone or something like that. When my friend got a new phone and ended up with the number, he made calls from the US to Pakistan because he was going to attend a friend's wedding there. The authorities saw these things and at some point contacted the owner of the phone (the company) to try to figure out what was going on.
