No need to be quite so cloak and dagger mate, it fairly obviously to any one who pauses to think.

People have been calling out the problems of corporate oligarchy for more than a decade. This is merely part of that .

It’s systemic risk, not merely technical

He's not being cloak and dagger. He's an old guy (double spacer spotted) who works in the military or private sector under NDA and can't talk about it.

Or he's LARPing. But the double spaces make me believe him.
