Seems very unlikely since it would inevitably cause many to lose faith in the currency. If they really want to cash out, they can just do what almost every other upstart cryptocurrency founder does and make it clear they're taking some of the pie.

If they just want out, the things that happen to the currency don't matter to them - they're already gone.
That's true, but if this was the epic exit scam they were planning for so many years, it's a bit disappointing.
410 BTC is half a million dollars.
True, but many of these currency founders are looking for millions.
Not saying it's impossible this is a scam, but I still doubt it.
You're assuming the one who introduced the bug was a founder with the ability to do that.
That's the assumption the parent poster made, not me.
Uh, no it's not. You're the one that mentioned founders. The parent poster just mentioned developers.
