Ortis has claimed that some unnamed Five Eyes foreign agent introduced him to the honeypot operation and that he didn’t notify his superiors at the RCMP about it.
How can you trust an unnamed intelligence officer though? For all we know, they might have an actual honeypot competing against Tuta and want to gain marketshare.
After all, intelligence agencies are guaranteed to be the first one’s who discovered Ortis was selling secret information. Might as well give him fake information to spread around and make criminals doubt any previous information sold by him.
It does increase the likelihood - marginally.
Fingerprint readers always got to balance between false positives and false negatives. If you want to reduce false negatives, false positives must be increased.
This shouldn’t really matter though. False positives are very low as-is so increasing them a little has nearly no impact on security.
