This guy had dubious ethics right from the start by offering most users a free version with weak encryption just so they can pay for the premium version. The export control excuse is bogus as by then DJB had already won the lawsuit against the U.S. government over this issue.
So all in all, I could see it coming that he would be offering the source code on the silver platter to the NSA after reading the first couple of paragraphs from the post.
I also like how he calls that guy a "dumb criminal" for not buying his military-grade encrypted software, as if he hadn't already admitted that he was giving the source code for the full version to the NSA anyway. In other words, he didn't just break the trust of the free users, but also of those paying him to keep their conversations private. This is why I said he had dubious ethics.
