Oxygen Forensics is a digital‑forensics software company that marketed itself as a U.S.‑based, U.S.‑controlled vendor, but federal prosecutors later alleged that it was secretly owned and directed by Russian nationals through offshore structures. According to indictments, the company’s core forensic tools were actually developed in Russia by a related firm that also sold similar technology to Russian security services, while Oxygen Forensics continued selling the product to U.S. government agencies under the appearance of being an American operation. Prosecutors claim the owners concealed their identities, used foreign holding companies, and shifted corporate paperwork to obscure Russian involvement, creating a situation where the company wasn’t a fake shell but allegedly behaved like a front by hiding who truly controlled it and where the software was being built. | Luftmensch Films | June 24, 2026
