153k Ether Stolen in Parity Multi-Sig Attack

Just thinking hypothetically here as a coin novice: could a bug like this theoretically have been implemented intentionally? If the code is the law, and the code is sufficiently complex, couldn't it be feasible to dupe people?

Yes. Contracts are only as secure as the people interpreting them, and when people can't interpret them because they're code, suddenly you need third parties to interpret them and then you've got to pay third parties to do this efficiently and suddenly you've reinvented the concept of being a lawyer.

Yes. You're thinking more like a battle-scarred veteran than a novice here.
