A Canadian in Paris: Thomas Herdman's long wait for trial

thePodcast for the week of July 20, 2025

In March 2021, a Vancouver encrypted smartphone company made worldwide headlines for the wrong reasons.

Authorities in Europe and the U.S. shut down Sky Global and accused CEO Jean-Francois Eap and distributor Thomas Herdman of helping transnational drug traffickers and money launderers. Both men claim innocence.

Herdman, 64, spent four years in a French jail until June, but must remain in Paris, on bail, to wait for his late-2026 trial.

This week’s guest is Thomas Herdman.
