Why are you surprised? Your problem is that you have chosen to trust what Kratter tells you instead of people who have much better understanding of these topics. Kratter has an absurd level of belief that Core is rogue, that they are compromised and that someone from Core stole Luke's bitcoin. You would do well to question more what Kratter is telling you. Who do you think understands how bitcoin works better? Adam Back or Matthew Kratter?

Because Luke has a history of saying insane shit most likely.
