Don't all those crazy FBI/CMU/(NSA..?) correlation attacks require you to control some majority percentage of the relays and/or exit nodes?

It would definitely be interesting to actually come up with some estimates of how much was being spent in aggregate bandwidth costs, say, 7 years ago, and compare it with what is being spent at present, and see if it matches what would be expected with 'normal user growth' although normal user growth for a relatively niche project like this would be pretty hard to quantify.

I wonder if there aren’t multiple us agencies competing for a majority share Unbeknownst to each other, all of them limiting the abilities of the others, all of them making it a better platform for those wishing to remain anonymous

They're most likely working together.

In modern times I bet you are right but historically information-sharing wasn't common across the IC

(based on my understanding of post-9/11 reality)

More likely US agencies are competing with Russian and Chinese agencies.
