I mean, for what it's worth, the MobileCoin bits weren't truly secret - that "turmoil in Signal" article that made the rounds a few months ago explicitly made mention of this, and the recent MOB runup in the past few weeks had rumors of this flying around.

And Marlinspike dismissed the MobileCoin work as "design explorations".[1] [1] https://www.platformer.news/p/-the-battle-inside-signal https://www.platformer.news/p/-the-battle-inside-signal
