If the discovery was from reviewing comments instead of reviewing code, that’s unfortunate and makes me less optimistic about the technology. A conspiracy theorist can always add complexity to keep a nefarious explanation alive. I don’t think that there’s any evidence of nefarious activity by that engineer so I hope he doesn’t suffer personally or professionally.
I stand by my analysis, this is the type of bug that would be useful to a nation state, assuming it is actually exploitable.
