You’re probably wondering why this is relevant right now.

> In 2020, an investigation carried out by the Washington Post, Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF), and Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF) revealed that Crypto AG was, in fact, entirely controlled by the CIA and the BND. The project, initially known by codename "Thesaurus" and later as "Rubicon" operated from the end of the Second World War until 2018.

And the reason this article came out now is CIA and BND sold their stakes in the company so they are no longer relevant
And crypto.com who bought parts of it now gets the bad press.
I guess they refused to play ball.
