Red flags unfortunately won’t prevent anyone from doing business…if you can be sure it is not illegal and that you won’t get in any sort of trouble, which is the case here.
But announcing publicly that they were abandoning mobile phones sure was an opsec failure: someone was listening, got the hint, and imagined this stupendous operation!
