If you look at their implementation the balance of probabilities definitely leans heavily towards “backdoor” rather than “not a backdoor”. You aren’t going to find any cryptographers anywhere who’d be willing to repeat your “They didn’t bac

Most federal CFAA penalties have been far lower than 5 years.

Again, that’s only good for extortion. Only worth tens of thousands if you’re going to sell them.

Most stolen data is very hard to sell for meaningful amounts. Such an “exit scam” would be a waste of time, you’d make more money by just ransoming one more company. When you’re earning (tens of) millions by extorting companies you aren’t g
