US and West German intelligence 'used Swiss firm to spy on governments'

They got out of the company in 2018 becuase they don't need it any more.

 

Over 120 countries have been using Crypto AG gear to send encrypted messages, not knowing Crypto AG was a CIA-BND front.

They won't release all the names of the countries that have been spied on, just a partial list...

I don't think it's a financial issue. It's probably more a ploy to remain dominant in all areas of global high tech.

Fun fact:
Thevessen is spelled with what germans call "SZ" (spak: essdsett), pronounced in a word like a double (sharp) "s", which looks like a greek beta. It is correct practice to replace "SZ" with "SS". As there is no upper case "SZ" this would have been one of the cases where this sort of "MUST" be done.
