  Even marketing to criminals is a tough sell, no reason to believe we weren't a 3 letter cutout: > An encrypted chat platform that catered to criminals is actually an FBI sting operation. > Since 2019, the FBI has been secretly operating Anom, a company that pretended to offer encrypted messaging to criminal organizations. In reality, the Anom app would relay to federal investigators a copy of every message sent. https://www.pcmag.com/news/fbi-sold-criminals-fake-encrypted-phones-that-actually-copied-their-messages https://www.pcmag.com/news/fbi-sold-criminals-fake-encrypted... (this is also in the TFC FAQ as why not to sell a device, trust is not solved by cryptography alone)
