"On Libbitcoin Explorer 3.x versions, bx seed uses the Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) initialized with 32 bits of system time."

That's a hell of an amateur mistake to make. 50/50 odds whether it was incompetence or deliberate fraud. Maybe 80/20; that flaw is so simple anyone can attack it. Which apparently is happening right now. It's much better if your crypto library generates keys only you can hack.
