I am getting suspicious of "random number generator not actually returning random numbers" bugs....

They are the perfect bug for someone trying to "accidentally" make a secure system insecure.

I wonder if bribe money was involved or three letter agencies...

And they waited 5 years to exploit it?

And do you think the NSA desperately needed $90 mil (the amount stolen so far), so they created this elaborate backdoor? Or were they waiting until Satoshi or Binance decided to deposit a billion dollars into this wallet?

All the employees which touched the code will be on watch lists now anyway. And sudden new house or yacht will be immediately flagged.

If this was done as part of an operation, we would have no idea what it was actually used for. It’s very unlikely that the crypto wallet thefts we know about were the intended target.

Need not be the NSA. Might just be some regular thief.

The longer they wait, the more they get to steal after all.
