This is so delusional and easily refuted.
It doesn't matter that it isn't perfect as long as it works. Let's assume, this one example of finfisher's (IIRC) tools was used on a lesser infraction, I don' remember specifics. Why burn a good traffic encryption that the CCC would go to analyze? The use oftools that will cost more if a simpler, even faulty tool will still beat the target, is also debateable. And why are there capable programmers at the NSA, but none could be in the BSI or BND. We even know they use tools from the NSA, so where's the difference?
