Material is attributed and quoted as published; where sources disagree their scenarios are kept separate with their assumptions rather than reconciled into one answer. Everything is meant to be checked against the linked evidence rather than taken on trust. Act on your own judgement about a particular situation. Editorial standards and corrections.

JP Technology relaying a March 2021 TFTC podcast clip and reading it as showing Coinkite knew of the defect for years, headed THEY'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS. Preserved as a widely circulated interpretation at the moment it spread, not as a finding. Two posts captured in the same batch dispute it directly on the identity of the 2021 bug: zherbert-2085070195702268321 and bitcoinnewscom-2085132208025567648, both saying it was the USB serial REPL flaw in unreleased firmware 4.0.0. The video itself is not captured by this tool; the sidecar records its poster frame.

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