Sam Bankman-Fried and other FTX staff allegedly had ‘Wirefraud’ chat group
www.theguardian.comChat group on the platform Signal was reportedly used to send end-to-end encrypted information about FTX and its hedge fund
I don’t see refenece in this article or any others, but how did prosecutors get access to SBF’s Signal messages?
Was it simply a court order that he unlock his phone (and agreed), or a codefendant who flipped to the prosecution and handed over the thread?

Not really. Once data is written to disk it’s more or less there forever. At least from a risk perspective.
If your disc is encrypted, you can change the disc encryption key, throw away the old key, then it doesn’t matter that the data is there you no longer have the key so the date is lost.
Most people use full disc encryption, and they’re unlikely to want to throw away all of their data just for signal.
Unless you’re using a container to run signal, or a virtual machine, or qubes : with disc encryption, then anything signal writes to the hard disk is more or less there forever from a risk perspective.
