The FBI, #Australian Federal Police & a confidential human source built #Anom so that a master key is silently attached to each message, enabling "law enforcement to decrypt & store the message as it’s transmitted.
"A user of Anom is unaware of this capability.”😂

Operation #TrojanShield captured >20 million messages since October 2019, including OVERT DISCUSSION of drug smuggling, #corruption, and other high-level organized criminal activities.
The idiots even sent photos of their drugs.😂

In 2018, the FBI arrested Vincent Ramos, the CEO of Phantom Secure, that provided custom, privacy-focused devices to organized criminals.
This opened the door for a new “secure” encrypted app for crooks, called #Anom.
Except the Feds got EVERY MESSAGE in REAL TIME.😂🤣😂

After that arrest, a confidential human source (CHS) who previously sold phones for Phantom and another firm (Sky Global) "offered this next generation device '#Anom,’ to the FBI to use in ongoing and new investigations.”
The CHS got #busted, then flipped BIGLY.
Oops.😂

When crooks left Phantom, they flocked to others, such as #Anom. The FBI then started Operation #TrojanShield, in which it effectively **ran a communications network targeted to criminals and intercepted messages running across it.**
In real time. With photos!😂

The capture of #Anom messages has initiated numerous high-level public #corruption cases in several countries. The most prominent crooks are currently being investigated by the FBI for “international drug trafficking, #MoneyLaundering, and obstruction of justice."💥
