A cocaine "broker" was involved in the supply of more than £400,000 of drugs on behalf of a mysterious importer known only as "Jurgen".
John Cass, from Kirkby, secretly operated under the pseudonym FrostFortress on the encrypted communications platform EncroChat. The "devoted" dad - who "thought he was invincible" - was today locked up for 10 years after being unmasked when his fingerprints were identified via a photograph.
Liverpool Crown Court heard this afternoon, Friday, that the 34-year-old acted as a "broker and intermediary sourcing large quantities of recently imported class A and B drugs". Cass, of Corbet Close, had 64 other handles stored in the contact list of his Encro phone, with messages exchanged with 22 of them.
