I've heard that they didn't just roll their own crypto, but that it was in fact unsurprisingly found to be broken and the devs then claimed that this was intentional to stop anyone setting up a clone without the central closed-source coordinator.

It's the second time I hear that today. I don't deny it's true, but can't we put some sources on this? I think it is a little childish to just be spreading rumors.
