So soon after launching...

in australia the company got more demand for phones outside and especially in europe and sort of the key person behind that expansion was a drug trafficker called hakan ayik he is the head of the so-called aussie cartel which is a multi-billion dollar super cartel good evening and welcome to the program tonight we take you inside the hunt for australia's most wanted criminal

He's teamed up with the Criminjeros and the Hells Angels, groups that would usually be killing each other if they were in the same room.

They band together to basically put those differences aside and make a lot more money.

Hakanayik gets very interested in Anom.

On one side, he needs a secure device to continue to smuggle his drugs.

On the other, if he can get in early when Anom is just growing,

and maybe get a sizable share of the business, he can make an absolute ton of money selling the phones as well.

Drug traffickers have figured out that you don't just sell coke, you sell the phones that also power the trade of the cocaine as well.

And what better ambassador for a nom than one of the world's top drug traffickers saying, hey, this phone is the real deal, so much so that I'm going to put my freedom and my safety behind it as well.

Yeah, exactly.

And very soon, he brings in even more people.

There's one called Maximilian Rifkin, who uses the nickname Microsoft.

So, Microsoft, if you can think up a drug trafficking scheme, Microsoft has not only probably thought about it himself, he's probably done it as well.

Microsoft has spoken about putting drugs inside energy drinks, using corrupt workers inside energy drink factories.

He's talked about getting airstrips in Europe to deliver drugs.

He's hidden cocaine inside tulips.

He's built amphetamine labs in the Swedish countryside.

He's orchestrated drops of cocaine to speedboats in the middle of the ocean.

Wow.
