I am aware of the post by Zooko, contemplating such a feature but the tech of Halo 2 implemented a Backward Secrecy mechanism, while it was true that under the previous trusted set up Z-cash could have been exploited this is no longer the case. To give an equivalence, it’s like how under Monero’s current system of ring signatures a flood attack could reduce the ring set, whereas with FCMP++ this becomes drastically harder, if not impossible. The bug if exploited would only impact the orchard pool (shielding), and not the transparent pool since Z-cash has a limitation on how many coins can enter, and leave a privacy pool (Turnstiles). A developers national origin is redundant in most regards. Yes, I know Israel is known for its intelligence agency, however, so is The United States, does that mean anything developed in America is “Fed’d”?

Yeah pretty much. Anything in a 5 eyes country is sus. Which is why Satoshi Nakamoto's anonymity was so important for bitcoin adoption, and why good chains have international users.; the tech stands on its own without astroturfing, which just isn't the case for zcash.
