a) JYA is being paid in laundered bitcoin for spreading FUD to cypherpunks and privacy technologists; CIA now embracing altcoins for darkops and payoffs.
b) the emerging market for captured 0day is spilling over into overt baiting tactics in public places like our beloved listserv; elevated noise a signal for constructed focal points of interest tapping faux target treasures.

I don't have a clue about JYA, but what I have seen on the bitcoin lists about address re-use and stealth addresses pretty much confirms that lots of people are getting paid, and many are getting manipulated into developing and promoting 'privacy and anonymity' systems that come pre-hacked with a feed to the highest bidder. The only real defense normal people have is transparency. The only people who can afford privacy are the ones shouting the loudest that we all have an inalienable right to keep shit secret, while they quietly tap our phones, bank accounts, cryptocoin wallets, and new media.
