A big-time drug dealer chatted with 'Terry f***ing Tibbs' and 'Tyrion Lannister' about huge amounts of cocaine. Jared Williams, 35, has been locked up for almost 13 years after his double life was exposed following the hacking of the EncroChat network.
Williams, a father from Urmston, was described as a 'valuable member of his family' and references to his character spoke in 'extremely positive' terms. But he was revealed to have been embroiled in serious crime after being unmasked as the man behind the 'Earthstrong' username on the highly secretive network often used by criminals until it was hacked by law enforcement.
Williams was in contact with at least 13 contacts within EncroChat. The usernames of those he was in touch with included 'Terry f***ing Tibbs', a character from the Channel 4 comedy show Facejacker and 'Tyrion Lannister', one of the main characters from the hit TV show Game of Thrones. Their true identities were not disclosed in court.
