I am getting suspicious of "random number generator not actually returning random numbers" bugs....

They are the perfect bug for someone trying to "accidentally" make a secure system insecure.

I wonder if bribe money was involved or three letter agencies...

And they waited 5 years to exploit it?

And do you think the NSA desperately needed $90 mil (the amount stolen so far), so they created this elaborate backdoor? Or were they waiting until Satoshi or Binance decided to deposit a billion dollars into this wallet?

All the employees which touched the code will be on watch lists now anyway. And sudden new house or yacht will be immediately flagged.
