I found evidence FBI was fluffing its "Going Dark" in 2016. https://www.emptywheel.net/2016/11/11/fbi-still-fluffing-encryption-numbers/ … Which is curiously when FBI now admits its numbers started going haywire. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbi-repeatedly-overstated-encryption-threat-figures-to-congress-public/2018/05/22/5b68ae90-5dce-11e8-a4a4-c070ef53f315_story.html …?

Note, FBI started claiming their numbers weren't fluffed after Jim Baker used them publicly. Jim Baker just left FBI.

Mind you, the scope of what @DevlinBarrett reported today is much larger than what I pointed to in 2016. Maybe.
But if it's the same problem they did have warning in 2016.
