Operation Trojan Shield | The FBI Seized 40 Tons of Drugs in Largest Ever Sting
from Things I Learned Last Night · host Jaron Myers and Tim Stone
Operation Trojan Shield was a joint effort by law enforcement agencies from multiple nations. It targeted organized crime networks using encrypted communication devices like Anon phones. These devices promised secrecy but unknowingly carried a backdoor, allowing authorities to monitor criminal activities in real time. Between 2018 and 2021, law enforcement gathered 27 million messages detailing crimes such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and even murder plots. The scale of this operation was unprecedented, leading to the arrest of over 800 individuals worldwide. Things I Learned Last Night is an educational comedy podcast where best friends Jaron Myers and Tim Stone talk about random topics and have fun all along the way.
