Bro, nah, that's borderline Black Mirror writing. It's possible something like that might happen, but let's be real, the chance of it happening to a person is almost zero. Even if you're a public figure - because if that's happening, someone wants to sabotage you whether they have some DNA information from you or not. And sloppy police work is sloppy police work, no matter what tools might be used or not. I get the privacy concerns and the not knowing part. It's not a conspiracy, it's just a for-profit data accumulation company, that will sell to anyone with the right money. Sure, some data might be misused to frame someone, or by regimes or institutions and, of course, by other for-profit companies to create products. But that's neither unexpected nor surprising.
