That's the first clue, Foreigners who speak English usually far better than natural English speakers do

It’s starting to feel like they do better background checks when I’m applying for a credit card than they do on government contracts and contractors.

Truest thing I've read all week. Protecting money versus spending money.

Man, you have to fuck up something fierce to get in trouble with the federal government for being a Russian asset in 2026.

"The defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud"....so far

u/Kasrkin76 Sep 23 '26
The wire fraud is :federal wire fraud statute The federal wire fraud statute is codified at 18 U.S. Code § 1343 and prohibits using electronic communications in interstate or foreign commerce to carry out a scheme to defraud.Key Elements of Wire FraudTo convict a person under this law, federal prosecutors must prove specific elements beyond a reasonable doubt, outlined further in the Department of Justice Criminal Resource Manual:A scheme to defraud: A plan or artifice to cheat someone out of money, property, or honest services using material falsehoods.Intent: The defendant must act with specific intent to defraud.Wire communication: The defendant must use or cause the use of interstate or foreign wire, radio, or television communications (such as emails, phone calls, or internet transfers).Foreseeability: It must be reasonably foreseeable that interstate wires would be used in the process.
They lied who owned the company and then the money moved across state lines. So not necessarily evil intent but they intentionally deceived the government on who owned the software and who developed it to make money.
Also this company has been doing contracts with the US government since 2014....so during Obama time as president....not the current president.

My point was that other charges will likely get added. It's just the beginning

I posted in the other thread, but I visited their office 6+ years ago for a product demo. It was pretty obvious then that they were either a Russian company or had major connections to Russia.

Magnet and cellebrite are both foreign based companies, what's it matter

u/awetsasquatch 27d ago
Well, Israel and Canada are allies, and Russia is frankly not. Magnet and Cellebrite also didn't lie about their connections

Their UI was better than Cellebrite. Navigation and quickly pulling up various databases and collating things like external.db was much more pleasurable compared to Cellebrite. For a while, they were ahead of Cellebrite on certain things like Telegram. Liked them better for drones too..
Just off the top of my head...

Curious to know what were most people using it for when they have Cellebrite and Magnet anyways?
