Yes, this seems more and more likely.
At least they knew of the vulnerability and chose to not do anything about it. Maybe they deliberately introduced it but were too chicken to exploit it.
Follow @Laser if you want to read some evidence. Circumstantial evidence, mostly, but some things are quite damning.
The Coinkite CTO authored the vulnerability under an alias then merged it into the Coldcard repo as the CTO.
Looks like it. Or, they knew the vulnerability existed in the code only for an AI to discover it. Either way, it's horrible.
Every hardware wallet company needs to be more transparent about the backgrounds of the people who are key figures in their company. If Mossad can orchestrate a supply chain attack on beepers, I have no doubt nefarious actors will do the same on Bitcoin hardware companies.

Do we know that Peter is a real person? And not a nym of NVKs?
Yes, I agree. I have read yout research. I am just questioning the timeline of the actual rug pull. Does not seem like an obvious point in time to do it now. I think a third party found it and started sweeping wallets.
He is almost certainly a covert agent.
Identity appears genuine. Could still be an agent.

Now is a good time to kick bitcoin while its down and steal oxygen from BIP-110. Stocks way overpriced. Its a good time for state level actors to demoralise bitcoin.
I fuck with this
My theory says Peter is the spook and Rodolfo is the useful idiot.
I believe it was.
Too many coincidences.b
