Now i'm not aware of the person's real intents and certainly won't dismiss the possibility of them being genuinely benign. But his background makes me skeptical to the point of assuming the worst. When a person used to hijacking software says he want to help building better version of anti-censorship privacy concious system, i'd need more than his word to trust him. Seems like a well-reasoned judgement, don't you think?
