FTL anything violates causality. Violation of causality is not
allowed within extant physics in weak field limits. You are already
wrong. Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiments can transfer data
superluminally (instantaneously!) through universal wavefunction
collapse, but data do not become information any faster than
lightspeed. A primer must be sent and it travels by the book. You do
not even get FTL Morse code.
The details of your Gedankenexperiment are irrelevant. The entire
class of experiment will not work FTL.
