This is also the rumor every time a crypto exchange is “hacked” and loses all of the stored crypto. It was never obvious if the people running the exchanges were incompetent or criminal, but I suspect it was a combination of both in many cases.

If you're set on doing some shit and know you won't be able to hide that it was done, arranging for it to be an "accident" is a pretty obvious ploy. Like, small children even do this.

I agree. Especially when there’s a lot of money involved, anything shared online is a liability.

		But that can't demonstrate that there are no genuine accidents. Indeed, there almost certainly are, because people don't stop being incompetent just because some other people are malicious.
