What kind of company gets an app popular with drug dealers for their internal communication?

If your app is not popular with terrorists and child rapists, it is not secure.
I doubt that is 100% true in either direction. People, especially non geeks can be duped into thinking something is secure
If an app is popular only with terrorists and child rapists, it's a weird choice for a business.
I know Australia's Ex-Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, used Wickr while he was in office.[0]
