The man's name is Vincent Ramos, a 41-year-old who served as the CEO of Phantom Secure, a company that sold custom PGP-encrypted BlackBerry phones for more than a decade. Phantom Secure devices used by criminal gangs. In addition to the imprisonment, worth $ 80 million worth of assets, the US Department of Justice said. It was the first time that the US had reached such a verdict against a company boss, who has provided the organized crime with encryption technology.

I still have three interesting thoughts about this:

  1. States always wanted tap-proof communication for themselves. In almost the same measure they wanted to see the communication of other states.
  2. The sellers of firearms remain unpunished.
  3. If Tim Cook does not sit in jail soon, we know how safe the iPhones really are :-P
