GMONEY calling "a smoking gun" a 4 August exchange in which JW Weatherman states he is 100 percent certain the incident was an inside job, and NoomDynamite replies that the entropy was cut enough to make keys brute-forceable but not so far that collisions would make many users suspicious. Registered as one dated, attributed instance of the inside-job theory circulating in the first week, beside reddit-inside-job-speculation. Inclusion is not endorsement: no captured source establishes intent, and the quoted exchange carries its own counter-argument, that an inside job would have precomputed the keys rather than deriving them on the fly.

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