I don't buy it when news hits that the FBI took down some ransomware gang or seized bitcoin or what have you. I've never heard of a single former FBI hacker, I don't know of anyone who would want to work for them (who wouldn't pick another agency first). Their pay is terrible and they disqualify almost everyone who has the background of a hacker. They must have some other agency do the deed and then they take the credit out of legal necessity.

Not saying the method is violence per se, but rather that there are a lot of alternatives to finding vulnerabilities and backdoors.
