The story of TrueCrypt and Paul Le Roux is one of the, if not the, most fascinating stories in technology there has ever been.

Paul Le Roux (born December 24, 1972 in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe) is a former programmer, former criminal cartel boss and informant to the DEA.

He created E4M, an open-source free Windows disk encryption software program, in 1999, and is a suspected creator of the open-source TrueCrypt, which is based on E4M's code. Le Roux is currently in US custody for ordering the assassinations of six people.

How the fuck someone who can write encryption software can ends up as cartel boss?

Seems pretty baller to me.

Already knew about those things op, interesting shit.

so the fbi can have a reason to capture him and then recruit him

This isn't /v/ or some other board that attracts anons low IQ enough to frogpost.

...

What a surprise. Frogposter makes a low quality shitpost.

bump

Didn't know he was black. Not all blacks have sub 70 IQ apparently.

So you're saying only criminals care about encryption and "privacy"?

You don't have to be black to live in Zimbabwe you fucking sub 70 IQ faggot

>a nigger
Trolled softly

>A surveillance photo of Le Roux, taken in an airport in Rio de Janeiro, surfaced from a Brazilian newspaper; it was purportedly the only image of him ever published. It’s a grainy shot of a doughy white man in a royal blue polo, with what appears to be tousled bleach-blond or silver hair and a darker, trim beard. He wears a slightly amused expression and, with the photo blown up, almost looks as if he’s winking at someone.

>theplaylist.net/michael-mann-paul-le-roux-20180412/
Wait, what? Is he getting a movie?

How the fuck do people who can't into tech end up being boss?

Probly cause the one person who understood its code was compromised.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. That helps explain the bizarre last version of Truecrypt. Which reminds me, I have find the next-to-last version agains so I can access my 150GB encrypted porn stash.

On the other hand, it's entirely possible these are trumped up charges for fucking the NSA's spying over by working with encryption.

his heritage now goes to veracrypt based guy he was
