You’d have to be a complete moron to rely on a third party to directly handle communication for your criminal organization

well even Signal is a third party, its up to you how much you trust the security researchers that claim the source code is secure

What I mean is that if you're going to use a third party to transmit the messages you'd want to do the encryption/decryption yourself on either end; I cant imagine just trusting a third party to securely handle your shady dealings
