Seems prudent to always assume anything you read could potentially be fake
or otherwise manipulated to try to skew your opinion in a direction someone
wants to skew it in. In fact, doesn't that describe pretty much all
communication? Young or Natsios could just as easily be modifying or
filtering what they release based on their own agenda. And even without
controlling the site, the feds (or any other government or group) could be
intentionally leaking particular information to bring about some desired
result.

But I don't think the potential compromise of a few PGP keys, which we
learned about because Young revoked them and announced it, or the fact that
a highly successful architect is "living large", is reason in particular to
believe the site is under the control of the feds.
