Just lol at text messages being stolen by a government entity. When I worked for a large telco I had access to a database with every text message they'd processed in the last week.

We used it to debug delivery issues for large clients. There is no way that a government level actor would be needed for this sort of thing.

if you read between the lines of the various articles on this, particularly in the WaPo, bezos’ camp is trying to imply there’s a Saudi connection without directly saying it

it’s not implausible either, the post went hard on the coverage of the the kashoggi murder (since he was one of theirs) and leaked a ton of stuff from intelligence agencies that made the whole thing way more embarrassing for the crown prince

like there was a full month where saudi would issue a statement trying to wash their hands of it and the post would print an article the next day with some specific Turkish intelligence undermining their most recent explanation

the fake invoices thing is a little funny because it’s a case of everything old being new again

that sort of thing is like half the reason your accounts payable position exists to begin with



then, once the AP clerk determines the invoice is legitimate and the goods have been received, they put it in a pile until it’s at least 60 days overdue

this guy founded Silk Road 2 but transferred ownership to Blake 2-3 months in - we know this for sure because one of the mods already on the staff at that point was FBI and had chatlogs lol

Blake got arrested like 9 months later, and apparently they got this guy around the same time but the trial took forever and wasn’t resolved til recently

Why choose between burying the disclosure somewhere nobody will find it and burying the disclosure underneath some much bigger news? you can definitely do both.
