That seems like the most plausible scenario anyway. Karpeles was just trying to take down Bitcoin with him by blaming it on a 'Bitcoin bug'. All this is a joke

That seems like the most plausible scenario anyway. Karpeles was just trying to take down Bitcoin with him by blaming it on a 'Bitcoin bug'. All this is a joke just like everything else in this sad saga, such as "cold storage leaking". I wouldn't attribute to malice what could be explained by incompetence, but seriously, this cannot be explained by incompetence.
