The most likely candidate is the NSA.

If that were true, it would have already been 51%'d by the backdoor they left themselves.
Why would they want to destroy their creation, that makes no sense.
The NSA has a poor track record with cryptography, often being audacious enough to believe that their backdoors in common encryption standards wouldn't be found by anyone. So much so that the idea of them being behind Bitcoin at the same time that they were gutting modern encryption is... Well, laughable, really.
