Not a bodybuilder like Hakan.

More like an IT guy.

A heavyset Swedish national with scraggly facial hair.

So tell me more about Microsoft.

Like, what is he using his phone for?

Like, he's selling phones.

He's getting a commission on selling phones.

He's asking the people he works with to sell phones.

What crimes is he using the phones to commit?

With Microsoft and others like him on board, Anom begins to dominate the international crime world, not just the Australian market.

Joseph says that criminal networks these days are much more multinational than they once were, with cooperation between a drug cartel in one country and a distributor in another being fairly common.

But for this global village of lawbreakers to talk, they needed a secure way to do it.

Akanyek, the muscly mastermind, and Microsoft, his nerdy underling, may have been the Ryan Reynoldses of Anom, but they were not the masterminds who had created it.

The mastermind was actually an associate of theirs, a man known as AFKU.

Where did AFKU get all the capital to start this?

Probably would have been a good question to ask.

But here's what people did know about AFKU.

Afgu was a longtime denizen of the criminal phone world.

He'd actually even been involved for a bit in Anam's more primitive predecessor, Phantom Secure.

And now, Afgu was moving the whole industry forward.
