We have Gavin Andresen, Mark Karpeles, Jon Matonis, Patrick Murck, Charlie Shrem and Pieter Vessenes they all seem pretty smart (proper educatrion, studied, economics, business people good connection to government etc) So here is my guess....
1. They want to make quick cash.... less likely
2. They are working for a government organisation very likely
3. They were approached by a big company likely
Yes, this is why I made an anti-Bitcoin Foundation website. We are better off without them.
