The Mob Reporter here with all the deep details of a headline-grabbing underworld tale that turned into a screwball comedy. Bumbling British gangsters undone by careless dog pics and inadvertent selfies.
Bob is a French bulldog, apparently beloved by Danny Brown, a London gangster who was hammering out a plot to move $54 million in drugs halfway around the world. He and his pals were using a supposedly secret phone system, called EncroChat. And why not — all the cool narcos were using it, which was exactly why penetrating it became a police priority. His username there was “RollTheDice.” Indeed.
In between messages about their 448-kilos of ecstasy, he sent a photo of Bob to his gangmate, Stefan Baldauf. Find out why this was a very bad move for him, and nine others arrested with him.
