Crypto Bitlord alleges that the COLDCARD CTO shipped the faulty code while pretending to be someone else, that the CTO had a background in keyloggers and stealthy remote-controlled KVM switches, and that the malicious actor created the exploit to sit on for years. Held as a dated, specific inside-job claim made during the incident-response period. The allegations are the poster's own and are not verified here.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
