It has been theorized that a state actor orchestrated an attack on Appelbaum to oust him from the Tor project (1) to discredit him as an authoritative journalistic source [1: Appelbaum was one of the individuals given access to the Snowden documents]; and (2) to gain more control of the Tor project to introduce vulnerabilities. The events leading up to his ejection had a striking resemblance to the JTRIG manipulation tactics. It's very possible that Appelbaum was a bad actor, exploiting his credibility, but it's also highly suspect that these accusations came to light so late into his life. It seems that, prior to the release of the accusations, someone would have at least suggested that he was sexually exploitative. Yet, there doesn't seem to exist even a peep of anything close to misconduct. It's why these manipulation tactics are so surprisingly effective. Who should be believed? There's a strong moral dogma that suggests we should immediately assume that the accusations are truth, [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Appelbaum#Journalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Appelbaum#Journalism
