If you were to open the calculator app and punch in a certain code, that's when it would open up the secret Anam chat messaging app. It was hidden beneath a few layers of obfuscation.

Who is the brainchild behind Anom? Who created this thing?

For the criminal underground. Wait a minute. What? Like, all the features of this phone, they're all fine. None of them are illegal. But if you're specifically making a phone for criminals, knowingly and purposely helping criminals conduct their crimes... Now, suddenly, what AFGA was doing was illegal.

So I learned from the book that this is quite a lucrative underground criminal industry. Anam was not the only one here. And you got to read the book about what happened to all the other encrypted phone companies. Like each of the competitors have just as wild and crazy of a story of what was going on with Anam.

And Joseph does a great job of giving you a tour of this whole criminal encrypted phone industry. But it bugs me because, like I said, I'm not a criminal, but I love having a highly secure phone with the best privacy you can get. So it's a weird line for me that this is even a criminal industry.

It's kind of like if someone started a hammer company selling hammers, but it was just selling hammers to criminals to kill people with. And it had like features on it, like non-slip handle for when blood gets on it or blunt side for smashing skulls and fork side for stabbing through stomachs. And really, it's just a hammer that's no different than any other hammer.

But it has the sole intention of being for criminals to cause pain and injury. And the company works exclusively with criminals to find ways to improve it. Like, why? Why not just make a great hammer that the whole world can use? Why make these secure phones for criminals? Privacy and security is important to the whole world, not just criminals.

Anyway, so Anom was this really sleek, super private phone that you could buy and have ultra-secure chats with others. And it was purpose-made for criminals.

So while it's true it was end-to-end encrypted, it was also end-to-end encrypted directly to Anom's servers, right?
