I heard this theory 2-3 times here.
Unfortunatelly I'm not able to review the code myself and understand the implication and I cannot just believe 2-3 random strangers on nostr (no offense) that "something bad is happening". I would not think that the majority of core devs are corrupted to the point of hurting what they work for and fight for after 15 years.
I have never seen a deepth analysis explaining the situation with facts and objective arguments.
Do you have anything to share?
