Are we okay with that sort of balancing act there?
Yeah, Microsoft was designated a high-value target by the Swedish authorities.
And they already knew about Microsoft.
He'd been arrested a little bit before.
But they had no idea about his amphetamine lab in the Swedish countryside.
They had no idea about some of these other drug operations until they got the insight from Anom.
And the Swedish authorities that I spoke to, they said they deliberately...
wanted to sort of put the pressure on him.
They wanted to squeeze him a little bit.
So when they shut down his amphetamine lab, they didn't actually arrest everybody just then, even though they could have done.
They wanted to lay in wait and let's see what these people do.
Like, maybe they'll do more incriminating stuff.
Maybe they'll make some mistakes.
We also want Microsoft to have to owe people money.
Like this will fuck with him, basically.
And that played out beautifully for the authorities.
Yeah, he's going to get more and more desperate.
He's going to look for other ways to make money.
He's going to bring in more criminals to Anom because, again, he wants to do more trafficking operations, but he needs more people to come on the network so he can make more money.
And it's like this endless cycle where if we just keep pushing him, he will accelerate and just keep going as well.
