If Intel will give Ledger the chip into the hardware wallet, Intel will set up a backdoor built into the chip in order to control the hardware wallet and gather all Bitcoins of the world Smiley

Well, if it's profitable for both of them, there's no reason why they can't work together in order to improve the wallet. I have a Ledger Nano S, and I really like it, so I hope that users will benefit from this cooperation...

Remember the NSA HD firmware hack which enabled them to write onto the unmapped part of the disk and software could survive disk formatting? Your idea is unlikely but not impossible. And they don't have to gather all, just a few thousand Smiley And it doesn't have to be company, maybe just one or two employees...

Businesses all over the world face several mergers and acquisitions in their lifetime and they do this for several strategic business reasons while some as a result of other reasons which are not shared with the public in which this could also be  part of such as well but we are not in the know just hear say and speculations.

Whether the merger will succeed or not, will depend on the handlers of the merger and those ones managing the form post merger with time being the determining factor to judge otherwise. The only thing to do as individuals is to stop using their services the moment you feel you are no longer protected by what they are offering rather than continuing with what you don't trust.
