According to my conspiracy theory, this is just disinformation to calm down paranoid Tor lusers. They well might be in bed with the american comrades. If the above is false the price appears too low for significant sploit. According to a Snowden leak the NSA wrote in presentation something along the lines: "We can deanonymize some Tor lusers, but we definitely don't won't to scare _all of them_".
