"The WhatsApp messages seen by Bloomberg didn’t come from Vigna’s usual business mobile number. The profile picture also was different.."

Depends on the business context, our main investor at my last company would always call me from random phones, his phone, his girlfriend’s phone, a burner phone of his, think I had like 4 different numbers saved that could be him. If he asked me to do something I always had to verify him, and he’d act like I’m the one being obstinate.

I feel seen.
The scary thing is it’s not hard to spoof the CLI on an otherwise untraceable voip call
The wrong people are smart in your story. Media would never pick that up.
