I'm confused why it is in your interest to create a new account to post on here with a report that it's an internal issue, but then offer not even the barest technical detail when you apparently have evidence, all the while chiding others for having no evidence themselves.
Your vagueness isn't serving anyone. If you're worried about confidentiality, you would have been better off not posting at all.
The only things that gave me pause today in attributing this all to an Occam's Razor explanation are:
1) The government's careful wording about this not being an "intrusion" (which leaves open DDOS).
2) The lockstep tempering response is about what I'd expect from an industry which, almost as a matter of national if not global security, has to project a stabilizing confidence to averts irrational panics over even mundane hacking attempts.
I can believe that it is a simply an internal IT issue (apparently requiring people in multiple cities to work like crazy), but I also wouldn't be surprised to hear a completely different story emerge in the next few months as they slice the sausage of public release. It wouldn't be the first time that the initial narrative of a rogue element in the financial industry was shown to be inaccurate, and only revealed months later after an appropriate cooling off period.

IMO 'thetruther's putative view from the inside is useful even without supporting evidence. Not every assertion needs peer review, and the community doesn't always have the right to demand it. (That doesn't mean I'd make a significant decision in reliance on his unsupported comments, of course.)
