I've seen (unsubstantiated) claims that there was a national security angle to the whole thing and everyone was told to shut up about it.
- smolder 6y agoThat's my hunch, based on the way the "debunking" of Bloomberg's articles was done (lots of people speaking from authority, poorly supported nitpicking about accuracy of illustration and other details, pointing to statements from the companies as authoritative) and the lack of retractions. I also got the sense that certain people who would normally like to speculate about the deeper story or provide historical context/additional flavor were unusually quiet.
