Long-form opinion letter on the incident: the author's own custody reaction (moving some balance toward custodians), an assignment of ultimate responsibility to NVK, and open questions on self custody after the disclosure. Discloses past Foundation and Blockstream sponsorships and anchors its account of Coinkite conduct on Zach Herbert's first-hand thread. Opinion, attributed as such.
