nah, snowden ain't in on anything,he just called zcash's crypto “the most interesting” once, walked away, and never looked back.
the “invitation” to a government roundtable is just zooko cosplaying at legitimacy, exactly the kinda sanitised theatre the state loves. pattern’s obvious: co-opt the privacy coin, scrape the shine off, and parade the remnant around as “regulatory-compliant privacy.” still smells fishy, but edward ain’t anywhere near this kitchen.
