Topic	FBI invented a trojan encrypted-app and gave it to unsuspecting gangsters.

Looks like they got their hands on a guy that made the encrypted devices for criminals and then had him push out their version to seem legitimate and then went after the competition so that criminals would use their devices as other options got busted and let them hang them selves basically. --- The Official Odin of the Shin Megami Tensei IV board.
