I think the people behind a project mean a heck of a lot to the validity an integrity of the project.

So if Zooko Wilcox et al are indeed respected in the P2P and security community, then I am interested in this.

You have to trust them, because if they cheat, they can print infinite zcash.

I do not trust Israeli SIGINT people with my secrets.

So people like Matthew Green, Alessandro Chiesa, Madars Virza, Ian Miers and Christina Garman, none of whom are Israeli, had absolutely no say in how this project was constructed, right? Eli and Eran are just two members of a much larger research group. They most certainly did not "backdoor" ZCash.

There's skepticism, and then there's this stupid crap like your post. No technical foundation, no evidence, nothing, just FUD.
