Bitcoin Asset Research alleging a state-backed inside job planned over years, built from questions about why the attacker consolidated into a single address, used KYC'd providers, made no attempt to cover their tracks, and about the timing. Preserved solely as dated, attributed public reaction, which is the only basis on which this archive carries inside-job and state-actor theories. Nothing here is evidence that any of it is true: no captured source supports the allegation, Block's tracing work found no evidence of participation by the provider it traced, and the archive holds miketwenty1-2085130028094718097 and erikcason-2085076560617623651 as contemporaneous rejections of exactly this reading. If the author later retracts or revises, that will be preserved beside it.

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